Maple Walnut Crescent Cookies

Directions

1. Cut the butter into cubes and combine in a large mixing bowl with the flour, salt, and sugars.
2. Mix until combined and then add the ground walnuts. The dough will be a crumbly consistency. Should not take more than 2 minutes.
3. With your hands form the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic.
4. Chill the dough for at least one hour.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
6. Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut in half, return one half wrapped in plastic to the refrigerator until ready to use.
7. Make tablespoon sized balls of the dough and shape into crescents. Try not to warm the dough too much with your hands. Flour a board to roll the cookies if needed.
8. Place the shaped cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet about one inch apart.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookie begins to gently turn golden, they shouldn’t brown.
10. Remove from the oven and sift sugar mixture over top of the cookies. Once the cookies are cool roll them gently in the sugar mixture for another coating.
11. Repeat with remaining dough.
12. Enjoy!
