Pecan Crescents

Those are my favorite cookies. If you make them ones, I can guarantee you will make them again.

You will need:

1 lb. of butter (room temperature)
1 cup of powdered sugar
2 tsp. of vanilla
4 cups of flour
1 cup of pecans or walnuts

Makes about 45 cookies.

Cream butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.

Add 2 cups of flour, and mix well. Add the other 2 cups of flour and mix well. Add nuts, mix again.

 Now it's the time to preheat your oven to 325F.
Then  place about 1 Tbsp of batter for each cookie on ungreased cookie sheet. I put them on aluminum foil, this way I don't have to wash the sheet. :)
Using my hands I flat them as thin as I can. They are sticky, but do your best. 

Now here is the hard part, baking. They burn very easily so you will need to keep an eye on them and make sure to take them out in the right time. They are not tasty when they are burned even a little bit.
I bake them for 12 minutes in 325F, but it really depends on the oven, you might try 350 degrees if it takes very long time to bake. Ones you figure out what's the right time and temperature is you will be set for life. :)
Basically they need to look like on the picture below, just a little brown on the edges. (you can click on the picture to see it bigger).

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy.
