VIENNESE CRESCENTS
This recipe came from one of my earliest pastry assistants, Sandra, when we baked together at the Strathallan Hotel in Rochester, New York. We used to put them on cookie/petits four platters because they froze well. You can also dip them in chocolate, omitting the confectioners' sugar at the end.

Steps:
- Cream the butter and add the sugar and vanilla and beat to fluffy. Add the flour and nuts and mix in. Chill the dough for at least one hour. The more it's chilled the less it spreads during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Shape the dough into tiny crescents using 1 teaspoon of dough for each cookie. Place them on an ungreased sheet pan in rows, leaving 1 inch in between for spreading and bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes. Dredge them in confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Using a small, sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a small bowl. Discard the pod. Add 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and use a mortar or the back of a spoon to pound and mix them together. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and stir to combine. Cover and let stand at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Vanilla sugar can be made ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, indefinitely.
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat to 350°F.
- Using a food processor, grind the walnuts into a chunky paste then transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until completely incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add the flour in 3 batches and stir until a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape heaping tablespoons of dough into 3- to 4-inch-long ropes, tapering the ends. Curve each rope into a crescent shape. Transfer to a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 to 3 minutes then carefully roll them in vanilla sugar and place on racks to cool completely. Continue baking cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be baked ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the baking powder in a food processor. Add the shortening and 4 tablespoons butter; pulse until pea-size pieces form. Add the lemon juice and 5 tablespoons ice water; pulse to combine. Gradually pulse in 1 more tablespoon water until the dough clumps together. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap; shape into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Combine the dried fruit, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until softened, about 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then transfer the fruit and liquid to a food processor. Add the honey, cinnamon and a pinch of salt; pulse to make a paste.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles with a 3-inch cookie cutter. Reroll the scraps and cut out more circles.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon filling onto each circle; brush the edges with the beaten egg. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal; transfer to the baking sheets. Brush with more beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar; cut slits in the tops. Chill until firm, 15 minutes.
- Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown, 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

VIENNESE ALMOND CRESCENTS
Rooted in tradition, these Viennese Almond Crescents are deeply reminiscent of the cookies your grandma use to make-it might even be the same exact recipe. All it takes is one bite of these light and airy cookies and memories of Christmases past will come flooding back. Dusted with powdered sugar like fresh fallen snow, we think it's almost impossible to eat just one of these melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. This traditional Austrian dessert can be enjoyed after dinner with a hot cup of coffee and can be the standout treat on your Christmas cookie tray. The secret for the delicate crumb of these cookies? Almond meal-try making your own in a food processor with sliced almonds and sugar. For a flavor boost, try adding a splash of almond extract to the dough. Nothing compares to these sweet little crescent moons, and once you try this recipe, we think you'll be making these for many Christmases to come.
