FILBERT
CRESCENTS
(Yield: 4 dozen)
¼ cup filberts
1¼ cups self-rising flour
½ cup butter or margarine, softened
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place the filberts in a 9x9-inch baking pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes
or until lightly toasted. Cool. Place in blender; blend until
finely chopped.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine filberts, flour, butter, and confectioners’
sugar. With fingertips, mix until a stiff dough forms (add a few
drops of water, if necessary). Shape level teaspoonfuls of dough
into 1¾x½-inch crescents. Place, 2-inches apart, on
UNGREASED cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes or until delicately browned. Remove from
cookie sheets; cool on a wire rack.
