Crescent cookies - country living

3 dozen

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
¾ cup Light sour cream
1¾ To 2 C unsifted all-purpose flour
1 cup Finely chopped walnuts
¼ cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
1 Large egg
1 tablespoon Water

Directions

1. In large bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter and sour cream until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in 1½ C flour to form a soft dough. With spoon, stir in ¼ to ½ C more flour until stiff dough forms. Divide dough into thirds; shape each into a flat ball. Wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

2. Heat oven to 350'F. Grease large baking sheet. In small bowl, combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon. In cup, beat egg with water. On lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough to a 9 ½-inch round. Brush with some egg mixture and sprinkle with one third of walnut mixture. Cut dough round into 12 wedges.

3. Starting from outer edge of each wedge, roll up to the point. Place wedges 1 point sides down, on greased baking sheet. Bend the ends to curve into a crescent shape. Repeat with remaining dough rounds.

Brush each crescent lightly with some egg mixture.

4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool crescent cookies on wire rack. Store in airtight container.
