Christmas Nut Crescent Cookies
As easy Christmas cookie recipes go, this one is really special. Simple, but these Christmas Nut Crescent Cookies have such a divine taste. Melt away.
Notes
This recipe is very similar to a Mexican wedding ring cookie, as it is very short and flaky. Not as sweet as some cookies, but buttery!
