Almond Crescent Cookies

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."

Cinnamon Pecan Cookie Bars

These cookie bars look delicious and if you love cinnamon and pecans, you will love them.  Sounds like a winner for the special occasion buffet or just for snacking.

The recipe comes from Blair at The Seasoned Mom.  Here is what she had to say about these cookie bars:  "The bars taste like a buttery cinnamon shortbread cookie topped with toasted pecans; however, they have the texture of crunchy cookie bark. Because there’s a lot of butter relative to the amount of flour in this recipe, the dough spreads in the oven, giving the bars a thin, crisp texture with a slightly chewy interior."
