Crescent cookies

BAKING ≈ 1 hour 1 serving 25 October 2026 · 0 comments
STEP 8 — Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Temperature 180 °C.

My mother often baked these crescent cookies when I was a child, and now I make them for my family. They are simple and quick. Roll the dough very thin for crisp cookies, or thicker for softer ones. For the filling I use drained berries from preserves or thick jam mixed with a spoonful of starch. Firm fruit jelly also works. Sometimes I simply sprinkle the dough with sugar and press it in lightly with a rolling pin.
