2 1/2 cups all purpose flour1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 Sticks of butter (1 cup), softened
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Blend flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg to the butter and sugar and mix well. Add vanilla extract. One cup at a time, add the flour mix into the wet ingredients. Mix until it's nice and doughy. Flour your hands, and roll dough into pieces about the size of a golf ball. Squash it down and shape it into a crescent, and then flatten it down. Another option is to roll the dough out and cut it with crescent cookie cutters. Be sure to flour your cookie cutters before you use them, or the dough won't come out as well. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 for about ten minutes, until the sides begin to brown.
