  • Shape the crescent cookies by taking a piece of dough, about a teaspoon size and roll into a log and shape into a "half moon"
  • Place the cookies on the parchment paper lined sheet pan
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are still pale and a little soft to the touch. DO NOT LET THEM BROWN
