Pecan Crescent Cookies

This is Clasina's recipe. These are my favorite cookies. I had them as a kid and missed them for many years.
Makes 3 ½ dozen cookies.

• ½ c butter
• ¼ c icing sugar
• ¼ tsp vanilla
• ¼ tsp almond extract
• 1 ¼ c sifted cake flour
• ¾ c finely chopped pecans - use an electric coffee grinder or a food processor

Cream butter until soft and smooth. Add sugar and flavorings and blend until smooth. Stir in flour gradually. Stir in nuts. Shape in crescent-shaped rolls (about a teaspoon each). Place on buttered cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes. While warm, roll in icing sugar.
