This is a lovely, not too sweet shortbread, topped with cinnamon sugar. I use walnuts, but feel free to use any nut you wish!

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
½ cup finely ground walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth. Mix in the walnuts, vanilla, salt and flour until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into crescent shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms begin to brown. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the cookies in the cinnamon sugar while still hot. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin.
