    1 cup

1

In a bowl, mix all ingredients together by hand. Knead until dough comes together, being careful not to over-work. The dough will be fairly dry and flaky.

Shape the dough into a log and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

2

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Cut off pieces of the chilled dough to shape them into crescents. Place the cookies on a non-stick or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes (depending on the size of the crescents) or until the edges begin to turn golden.
