Laun/Pruett Recipe Collection
Jitka's Crescent cookies (Vanilkove Rohlicky)

2 cups flour
1/2 c. powdered sugar
3/4 cup ground nuts (use nut grinder to make it fine)
2 cubes unsalted butter

Jitka mades these traditional crescent cookies for all our Shatford Library parties. They melt in your mouth and are more delicate than Mexican Wedding Cookies.

Janet, Dona and I met at my home and she taught us but we were so clumsy by comparison. I neglected to write the instructions but found this website that has a similar recipe.
