Nutty Raisin Crescents Recipes

NUT CRESCENTS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread walnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until light golden and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and let cool completely. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• 2. In a food processor, combine ½ cup flour with the toasted nuts, and pulse until the nuts are finely ground. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour-nut mixture and the remaining 1 cup flour and the salt; set aside.
• 3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and ½ cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in two batches, and beat until combined.
• 4. Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a 3-inch log. Using your fingers, shape log into a crescent, tapering the ends slightly so that the center is the widest part. Repeat with remaining dough, placing crescents about 1 inch apart on prepared sheets. Freeze or refrigerate until crescents are very firm, about 30 minutes.
• 5. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack to cool, 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to the rack to cool completely. Place the remaining 1 cup sugar in a shallow bowl and roll cookies in it to coat completely. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

GOAT CHEESE-RAISIN CRESCENTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• Unroll dough; separate into 8 triangles. From center of longest side to opposite point, cut each triangle in half, making 16 triangles. Sprinkle triangles evenly with goat cheese, raisins and walnuts; drizzle with honey. Starting at shortest side of triangle, roll to opposite point. Place rolls on cookie sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

MR. GOKITTENGO'S NUTELLA CRESCENTS

Steps:

• Unroll the crescent rolls per package instructions.
• Put about 1/2 tablespoon of Nutella on the large end of each roll.
• Roll them up.
• Bake for the amount of time specified in the package directions, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let cool for about five minutes before attempting to eat - the Nutella is like lava when they first come out of the oven, and will hurt you. I speak from experience.
