Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
• 1/4 vanilla bean
• 1 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
• 1 cup walnut meats
• 1 cup butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Directions:
Directions:
1. Chop vanilla bean. Pound it in a mortar or pulverize it in an electric blender with about one tablespoon of
the confectioner's sugar. Mix with the remaining confectioners' sugar. Cover and let stand, preferably
overnight. Reserve while cookies are baked.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. Cut walnuts with a sharp knife into very small pieces. Pound the pieces to a paste, using mortar and
pestle

4. With a wooden spoon or the fingers, mix walnuts, butter, granulated sugar and flour to a smooth dough.
Shape dough, about a teaspoon at a time, into small crescents about one and a half inches in diameter.

5. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet until lightly browned, or 15 to 18 minutes. Cool one minute. While still
warm, roll cookies in prepared vanilla sugar.

YIELD 72 crescents

NOTE
Do not be tempted to cut the vanilla bean in a food processor; it doesn't work. But the machine works well with the walnuts.
