VIENNESE CRESCENTS
This recipe came from one of my earliest pastry assistants, Sandra, when we baked together at the Strathallan Hotel in Rochester, New York. We used to put them on cookie/petits four platters because they froze well. You can also dip them in chocolate, omitting the confectioners' sugar at the end.

Steps:
- Cream the butter and add the sugar and vanilla and beat to fluffy. Add the flour and nuts and mix in. Chill the dough for at least one hour. The more it's chilled the less it spreads during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Shape the dough into tiny crescents using 1 teaspoon of dough for each cookie. Place them on an ungreased sheet pan in rows, leaving 1 inch in between for spreading and bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes. Dredge them in confectioners' sugar.
VIENNESE VANILLA COOKIES
Steps:
- Cream butter and add sugar. Add 1/2 cup of flour mixing after each addition. Add remaining ingredients. Shape into a disk and then chill for 30 minutes. You can also put the dough in the freezer at this point.
- Begin to roll the dough the dough so that it is about 1/4-inch thick or a little more. Cut with cookie cutters. Place dough on parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet. I prefer using parchment paper. It's just easier.
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes or until the edges are a bit brown. You may need to lower your oven to 325 degrees F.
- You can also freeze or chill the dough in a log shape rather than a disk. If you do this, simply cut small rounds about 1/4 inch thick and place these rounds on the lined cookie sheet. These bake for 15 minutes. (This works well, if you want to transport dough to a friend's house and have kids form the cookies.)
- Once the cookies come out of the oven, either cool them on the cookie sheet or move the parchment paper to a cookie rack. As the cookies cool, but before they're fully cooled, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
- Arrange on a plate and don't blink because they'll disappear before you open your eyes. Eat.
- That's the classic Brown family cookie. Without it Christmas simply isn't Christmas. Sometimes I bring a batch from my Chicago home and that simply doesn't work. My sister and mother are upset that the house doesn't smell like Christmas...no cookie smell in the air. I'm often required to make many batches...and the cookies are eaten at all times
- and for all meals.
- These were the cookies we left for Santa...He regularly gobbled them up, leaving only a few crumbs on the plate and a note that said, "These are excellent cookies, the best I've had." In retrospect, the writing looked an awful lot like my father's... If they're good enough for Santa, I think they're good enough for anyone.

Steps:
- Using a small, sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a small bowl. Discard the pod. Add 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and use a mortar or the back of a spoon to pound and mix them together. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and stir to combine. Cover and let stand at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Vanilla sugar can be made ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, indefinitely.
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat to 350°F.
- Using a food processor, grind the walnuts into a chunky paste then transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until completely incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add the flour in 3 batches and stir until a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape heaping tablespoons of dough into 3- to 4-inch-long ropes, tapering the ends. Curve each rope into a crescent shape. Transfer to a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 to 3 minutes then carefully roll them in vanilla sugar and place on racks to cool completely. Continue baking cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be baked ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.

I love butter cookies and nuts. This was a recipe that was on my Joy of Cooking once a day recipe/cooking tips calendar. I haven't tried them yet, but plan to do so soon, so I'm guessing on prep time

VIENNESE ALMOND CRESCENTS
Rooted in tradition, these Viennese Almond Crescents are deeply reminiscent of the cookies your grandma use to make-it might even be the same exact recipe. All it takes is one bite of these light and airy cookies and memories of Christmases past will come flooding back. Dusted with powdered sugar like fresh fallen snow, we think it's almost impossible to eat just one of these melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. This traditional Austrian dessert can be enjoyed after dinner with a hot cup of coffee and can be the standout treat on your Christmas cookie tray. The secret for the delicate crumb of these cookies? Almond meal-try making your own in a food processor with sliced almonds and sugar. For a flavor boost, try adding a splash of almond extract to the dough. Nothing compares to these sweet little crescent moons, and once you try this recipe, we think you'll be making these for many Christmases to come.

I have to thank my Grandma Schatz for these delectable cookies. I always bake them to take to parties and Open Houses during the Christmas holidays, but these are wonderful any time of year! You can substitute ground walnut meats if that's easier, but the toasted hazelnuts taste amazing!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Farenheit.
- Grind the nuts (A mouli grater works quickly and easily).
- Work butter and sugar in a bowl until creamy.
- Add flour, salt, vanilla and nuts; mix until well blended.
- Using your hands, take ball of dough the size of a medium orange, and work it on the counter using both hands, rolling it until it looks like a rope, almost ½ inch thick. I have never chilled the dough, but you might chill it if you find it easier for handling it.
- Cut into three-inch lengths.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet, either on foil or parchment paper, curving them into "C" shapes about one inch apart, and bake 18 to 20 minutes.
- Cool crescents until cool enough to handle, and roll in confectioner's sugar, pressing gently so as not to break them, until completely covered.
- Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
- TOASTING HAZELNUTS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts in single layer on cookie sheet and toast until the skins begin to split, about 10 minutes. Rub the warm nuts vigorously with a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins. Return nuts to the pan and toast until fragrant and golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes more. (Remember to turn oven down for the cookies.).
