Don't wear black, you'll be a wreck.

These cookies are a hot mess... Are they delicious? Yes! Are they a pain to make in the crescent shape? Oh man yeah - round flat balls would be way easier on all accounts. But folks we are making crescent cookies! The recipe was in my mom's cookbook - get this - from my dad's former mother-in-law Reka. Didn't know he had one of those? He did. He was also a widower, another story for another time. But these were Reka's recipe! It's old, like REALLY old so you know it's a legit recipe! Forming the shape was a pain, I broke too many to admit. I used a cookie scoop to get the amount of dough I was using to be approx. the same and did my best. These are very crumbly and like to fall apart. Do you best and when in doubt - douse in powdered sugar. Oh the hot mess part? You'll be covered in powdered sugar when you eat them. Don't wear black, you'll be a wreck.
