Loved these!! I received so many compliments from these so much better than the plain crescent cookies, with that chocolate they were outstanding.

I ran out of hazelnuts and substituted 1/2 the amount of pecans. I dipped half of the batch in dark chocolate. Great either way!

nice holiday cookie. Light and flaky. I did not dip them in chocolate, but might try doing that next time. Definitely have to double the recipe for my family. My 4 year old grandson had fun shaping these!

These cookies almost melt in your mouth! The only thing different I did was to use ground almonds instead of hazelnuts because I had them on hand and then switched in almond extract instead of vanilla. They are excellent!

Sorry - I read rave reviews and expected a winner.They were so dry that I ran back to the recipe to find out if I had left something out. They crumbled easily, and my boyfriend said that they "looked like slugs". I would not make them again, but I would like to try other cookies with ground hazelnuts.

I used ground walnuts for this recipe and like others, I omitted the vanilla bean. I baked them at 350 instead of 375, and they turned out perfect! Thanks for the recipe.

These were so delicious and buttery. I used walnuts instead of hazelnuts because its what we had on hand, but they came out just blissfully delicious. I will be taking these to a cookie swap in January!

I tried this recipe instead of my usual one for crescents and I was disappointed. Not the tender melt-in-your mouth cookie after all. I didn't make any changes to the original recipe. I won't make these again.

These taste fantastic! Relatively easy to make - just a tip for those trying this for the first time - I found I wasn't able to "roll" the dough into 3" pieces as the dough would just crumble. Took a bit more time than expected to assemble and get them in the oven - but they still turned out great!!
