Crescent Cookies – Nana Palumbo

½ lb. butter
8 oz. Cream Cheese
2 Cups flour
1 Tbs Cinnamon
½ Cup Chopped Pecans
1/3 Cup Sugar

1. Cream together butter and cream cheese, add flour, and form a soft sticky dough.
2. Divide dough into 3 balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
3. Mix together cinnamon, sugar, and nuts and set aside.
4. Take out a chilled dough-ball and roll it out about 1/8” thick like a pizza crust. Spread a third of the sugar mixture on top of the dough. 5. Cut the dough into 16 equal segments. Roll each piece of dough, from wide end to point, into a crescent.
6. Slightly bend each crescent and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
8. Cookies may be dusted with powdered sugar.

Placemark for some yummy cookie recipes - I am a bad cookie baker and some of these look as though even I could make them.

Any hermit recipes out there?

Rachel Ray’s Fabulous Five-Minute Fudge Wreath is great for serving or packed in cellophane bags as gifts. Slice the fudge very thin to serve – a little goes a long way!

INGREDIENTS
1 bag semisweet chocolate morsels (12 ounces)

9 ounces butterscotch morsels (3/4 of a 12 ounce bag)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can or package of walnut halves (8 ounces)
1/2 cup currants (a couple handfuls)
8-inch cake pan, lightly greased with softened butter
Candied red and green cherries, for garnish (optional)

METHOD Place a heavy pot on the stove and pre-heat it over low heat. Add chocolate and butterscotch morsels and milk and stir until morsels are melted and milk is combined. Save the empty condensed milk can. Stir in the vanilla and remove the fudge from heat. Add the nuts and currants and stir in immediately.

Cover the empty condensed milk can with plastic wrap and center it in the greased cake pan. Spoon fudge into pan around can, making sure to center the can if it drifts.

The fudge will set up almost immediately. Garnish can only be added in the first minute or two that the fudge is in the pan, so work quickly. Decorate your wreath with “holly” made from cut candied red and green cherries. A wreath left plain can be garnished with a pretty fabric bow when serving.

Chill covered in the refrigerator.
