Ingredients

  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter
  • Parchment paper
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (+ additional for dusting)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps

    1. Shred butter using a cheese grater, then chill. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place walnuts in bowl of food processor; pulse until finely ground (about ⅔ cup).
    2. Combine in large bowl: flour, walnuts, powdered sugar, and salt until blended. Knead butter and vanilla into flour mixture until dough forms. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
    3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Scoop (or form) dough into 24 (¾-inch) balls. Form each ball into a 3-inch long, ½-inch-thick log, then form each log into a crescent; arrange on baking sheet. Bake 8–10 minutes until edges are golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
