Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth. Mix in the walnuts, vanilla, salt and flour until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into crescent shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms begin to brown. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the cookies in the cinnamon sugar while still hot. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin.

Recipe Note

This is a lovely, not too sweet shortbread, topped with cinnamon sugar. I use walnuts, but feel free to use any nut you wish!
