Walnut Crescents
- Dough

- 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Topping
- sugar
- cinnamon

- Rolling dough
- powdered sugar
- Sift dry ingredients.
- Blend in Crisco or butter/Crisco mixture.
- Dissolve yeast in a little lukewarm water, add to flour mixture.
- lightly beat eggs.
- Add eggs and sour cream.
- Blend well and refrigerate over night. Dough will be moist and airy.
- Filling-Blend all ingredients together.
- To form---Take small (softball size is what I used) pieces of dough and roll out in powdered sugar (using as much sugar as needed about 1/2-1 pound) into a circle.
- Cut into 8 pie slices.
- Put filling on thick side and roll from large end to point.
- You can top the filling with some mini cips if desired.
- Place on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper and top with cinnamon and sugar mixture adding crushed nuts if desired.
- Bake at 375 Degrees for 20-25 minutes.
