These vanilla walnut crescents are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a day ahead of time and they were just as delicious the next day.

I'm not usually a fan of crescents, but these vanilla walnut crescents are an exception. They are so light and flaky, and the filling is to die for. I could eat them all day long.

I used chopped pecans instead of walnuts and they were still delicious. I think any kind of nut would work well in this recipe.

I added a little bit of cinnamon to the filling and it was delicious. I think it gave the crescents a little extra flavor.

These vanilla walnut crescents are a great way to use up leftover crescent roll dough. I always have a package or two in my freezer, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I had a little trouble getting the crescents to hold their shape, but they still tasted great. I think I just need to practice a little more.
