Pecan (Crescents) Fingers

½ cup butter, room temperature
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
¾ cup finely chopped pecans
Pinch salt

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325°.

In a large bowl, beat butter with ¼ cup powdered sugar until fluffy; stir in vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine flour, pecans, salt, and nutmeg; stir into butter mixture. Shape 1 tablespoon of dough at a time into 2-inch logs. Taper the ends and curve the logs slightly to form a crescent. Put on prepared pans.

Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes, until cookies are golden beneath. Remove from oven and let cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Put remaining ½ cup powdered sugar in a shallow bowl and put cookies into the sugar, a few at a time to coat. Cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle remaining sugar over the cookies.
