These rich, buttery cookies can be prepared days before the big party and are sure to wow your holiday guests. A sprinkle of vanilla sugar is a delightful addition to each crumbly bite.

Ingredients:

2-1/3 cups flour

3/4 cup ground California walnuts

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 cup icing sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

1 cup cold butter, cubed

1/4 cup melted butter

1/3 cup vanilla sugar

In food processor, pulse together flour, walnuts, salt, cinnamon and icing sugar to combine. Pulse in vanilla and eggs. Add butter and pulse to form dough, about 30 seconds.

Shape dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour and up to two days.

Preheat oven to 325?F (160?C).

Form chilled dough into little finger shaped cookies, about 1-1/4-inch (3 cm) in length. Shape into crescents and place on parchment lined cookie trays 1-inch (2.5 cm) apart. Bake in preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.

Brush warm baked cookies with melted butter and roll in vanilla sugar.

Cool cookies completely on wire rack.

Makes about 60 cookies.
