“Nana’s Kiflings”  (Almond Crescent Cookies)
These recipe for these cookies is one of the most precious family heirlooms

About the Recipe:
Note from Molly:  My mother-in-law, Octavia, who grew up in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, makes boxes and boxes of kipferl every Christmas, just like her mom (Great Nana) did before her.  In fact, these lovely little treats are a Lockout Mountain cookie tradition, generations in the making. Sometimes called almond crescents or kipferl, these nutty melt-in-your-mouth cookies are similar in taste and texture to Russian tea cakes, Mexican wedding cookies, and snowball cookies.  They’re simple to make and highly giftable, and their deep nutty flavor and short, buttery texture all rolled up in a thick powdered sugar shell, makes them impossible to resist. Go on, try one – Nana would insist. – p. 158 – Sheet Pan Sweets
