1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips (I use mini chips)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In mixer bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla.

In an electric blender or food processor, combine flour and walnuts to process and chop nuts up pretty fine, then pour into the creamed mixture. Add chocolate chips and mix well.

Shape into crescent shapes (like a smile).

Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until edges are golden. Remove and roll in confectioners' sugar and cool.

Makes 2 dozen.
