These mini nut crescent cookies are made with an egg-free dough containing just three ingredients: butter, cream cheese, and all-purpose flour. The dough chills for two hours, then is divided into four portions, each rolled out directly on a mixture of chopped nuts, granulated sugar, and cane sugar. Each circle is cut into 16 wedges, which are rolled into crescents. They bake for 12 to 16 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F) and are great with coffee or as sweet bite-sized treats.

Ingredients

Butter 200 g
Cream cheese 200 g
All-purpose flour 300 g
Granulated sugar 100 g
Cane sugar 100 g
Chopped nuts 100 g

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Work the butter, cream cheese, and flour into a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours. Then divide into 4 portions.
Mix the nuts with both sugars and divide the mixture into 4 portions as well. Sprinkle a quarter of the nut mixture onto your work surface and roll out one portion of dough on it into a circle about 26 cm in diameter. Cut the circle into 16 wedges and roll each wedge into a crescent.
Transfer the crescents to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 12–16 minutes, until golden on top.

Tip: Butter and cream cheese make the dough soft, so roll it out as soon as you take it out of the refrigerator. Roll the wedges from the wide end and place the crescents with the tips underneath so they do not unroll.
