Step 5.
Chill the dough for 1 hour. If using a crescent cookie cutter, roll the dough to the thickness of ¼ inch. If shaping into crescents, roll 1-tablespoon pieces of dough into short ropes, then form them into crescents (see below). Arrange about ¼ inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the crescents begin to brown, 13 to 15 minutes, switching oven racks and rotating the sheets halfway through. Let cool on the sheets for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Roll the cooled cookies in: ⅔ cup powdered sugar
