Ingredients

2-1/3 cups flour

3/4 cup ground California walnuts

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 cup icing sugar 250

1 tsp vanilla 5

2 eggs

1 cup cold butter, cubed 250

1/4 cup melted butter 50

1/3 cup vanilla sugar

Directions

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 a 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. Form chilled dough into little finger shaped cookies, about 1-1/4-inch in length. Shape into crescents and place on parchment lined cookie trays 1-inch 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.
