2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

  • Starting at the wide end, roll up each wedge.
  • Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheets, placing the cookies about 1-inch apart and curving the ends to form crescent shapes.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I thought these crescents were still pretty good. The dough was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart.

These apricot crescents were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by using less sugar in the filling.
