Recipes: Great-Grandma Rose Schade’s Pecan Crescent Cookies

Great-Grandma Rose Schade’s Pecan Crescent Cookies
  • Serves:48
 

Holidays are a time to celebrate tradition. And this year I want to celebrate my great-grandmother, Rose Schade, and her Pecan Crescent Cookie tradition. These were the holiday cookies my family cherished and Rose made for everyone each year. She even prepared, packaged and sent these holiday treats to three generations of the military. To this day, her Pecan Crescent Cookies are my all-time favorite cookie.

Dry roast nut meats in a hot oven for just a few minutes to truly bring out their natural flavors. Always cool before adding to a recipe.
