About This Recipe

“Buttery Romanian crescent cookies filled with sweet cherry jam and dusted with powdered sugar.”

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 500 g all-purpose flour

  • 250 g unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)

  • 100 g powdered sugar

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 1 tbsp sour cream or plain yogurt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Make the dough:
    In a large bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and mix quickly with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    Add egg yolks, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Knead gently until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Shape the crescents:
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle about 3–4 mm thick.
    Cut the dough into triangles (like pizza slices).
    Place a small spoonful of cherry jam at the wide end of each triangle, then roll it up towards the narrow tip to form crescents.

  3. Bake:
    Place crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden.

  4. Finish:
    Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
