At a glance
You're making a classic holiday favorite with this vanilla crescent recipe — a tender, nutty dough that needs an overnight chill before shaping, then a quick bake and warm vanilla-sugar coating. The time-consuming part is really just the waiting, so plan ahead the day before you want to bake. Once they come out of the oven, you'll coat them while they're still warm for that perfect sugary finish.
