These cookies are a childhood favorite that take me back to italian weddings. I don't know if the cookies at the weddings were exactly the same, but they were as I remember them. I'm sure they are known by a different name and maybe they were a different shape. I'll have to do a post on italian cookies that I loved.
The origins of this cookie from the editors of Simply Recipes: "These cookies are traditional Austrian cookies, sometimes called Viennese crescents. They're often given as Christmas gifts. Similar cookies can be found in many culinary traditions. Greek kourabiedes (a.k.a Greek wedding cookies), walnut snowballs, and Mexican wedding cookies are all crumbly, nutty, and rolled in sugar like these almond crescent cookies."
