“This is a lovely, not too sweet shortbread, topped with cinnamon sugar. I use walnuts, but feel free to use any nut you wish!” - by Tasha

Original recipe yields 36 cookies

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth. Mix in the walnuts, vanilla, salt and flour until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into crescent shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms begin to brown. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the cookies in the cinnamon sugar while still hot. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin.

"I couldn't be bothered to make them into crescents. I made them into rounds. I didn't want too much sugar on it so I just rubbed some on the top rather than rolled them. But I LOVE this recipe. I ..." See morehave been trying to find it for quite a while now. I grew up in Toronto and there was a little Jewish bakery by me that made just these sorts of cookies. They closed down and I missed tasting these. Thanks for the recipe!"

"I thought this was a good recipe, I used pecans instead of walnuts. The smell is wonderful. I also like it with a little nutmeg mixed with the cinnamon...." See more"

"I think there's too much fat in the recipe, dough is too soft & the cookie spread too much while baking, at 15 mins of baking, cookies still very soft, I removed them from the oven after 20 mins, ever..." See moreything turned into crumbs when you try to lift the cookies onto rack to cool. I dumped everything into the bin, will not try it again but nice smell though !"
