I have been looking for a good recipe for these particular cookies for a long time. I wasrelying on my memory for a certain taste I remembered from some time ago. This recipe is it. I had some difficulty making the cresent shape but, finally got the hang of it. I was already making other "ball" cookies and wanted the different shape. Thanks soooo much for reviving this memory for me.
