Hollow Walnut Crescents

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making a walnut dough that needs to rest overnight, then pressing it into molds to bake into magically hollow crescents that puff up beautifully in the oven. The trickiest part is not opening the oven door mid-bake—and once they're done, you'll dip the cooled ends in chocolate for a finishing touch.

  1. 1/7

    Make the dough

    Mix all the ingredients together, including the melted butter and ground walnuts. Knead well until everything is fully combined.

    Shape into a ball

    Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. Let it rest overnight until the next day.

  3. 3/7

    Chill and take out the dough

    The next day, take the dough out of the fridge 1 hour before you plan to use it.

About this recipe

One of my mom's fantastic recipes. And let's just say her Christmas cookies (this one included) are always a hit wherever we bring them :). These crescents are made with ground walnuts, and once baked, they turn out completely hollow inside. Really, they do! They taste absolutely wonderful and melt in your mouth.
