Natalie’s Crescent Christmas Cookies

Karney Family Recipes Posted on by

Crescent Christmas CookiesThis is a traditional recipe that Natalie got from her mother. They are butter cookies, but unique in that the dough is a yeast dough and they have less sugar than typical butter cookies.

Natalie has been making them since we were first married, and Christmas wouldn’t quite be Christmas without them.
