Delicate cookies with a rich butter flavor and crunchy nuts
‘
About the Recipe: These old-fashioned nut cookies were always a special treat when a mother or grandmother made them the holidays. Even today, they are usually included with the holiday cookies that families bake every year. Crescent cookies are delicate, rich, and full of buttery flavor. They’re irresistible!
Heart Warming Story about the Recipe: Anne Marie Reband’s winning recipe in a holiday cookie contest came from a beloved grandmother, who passed away a few years before this time.
It was like a miracle how she found the recipe. A couple of weeks before Christmas, she was looking for a recipe in her file box. Her heart stopped! There it was her grandmother’s crescent cookie recipe! She didn’t even know it was in there. She baked the cookies, fearful that somehow, they wouldn’t taste quite the same. On Christmas Eve, the verdict came in. Everyone agreed they tasted exactly like Grandma’s. Of course, now she bakes them every year. She said, “It just wouldn’t be Christmas without them.”
The finalists in the holiday cookie contest agreed that winning a prize in the 1988 Holiday Cookie Contest was more than just baking the cookies. It was about making memories.
