1 c. butter, room temperature
5 tbsp. sifted confectioners sugar
2 1/4 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. water
1 c. chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream butter with the confectioners sugar. Add flour and chopped pecans. Mix in vanilla and water. Shape the dough by pinching off a small piece of dough and roll it between the palms of the hands. (the roll should be about 2 inches long and fairly thick.) Bend into a crescent shape and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 45-50 minutes. Remove. Roll in powdered sugar while warm. Makes small, dainty and gently crunchy crescents.
