- Dust your work surface with a little flour, and roll your dough into a 12-inch long log. It should roughly be around 1-inch thick too.

- Place all your crescent-shaped cookies onto a pre-lined baking tray and pop into the fridge for around 20 minutes or until they've hardened slightly.
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
- Bake your cookies for around 20 minutes or until they're slightly golden around the edges, they should still be pale on top.
- Allow them to cool for 3-4 minutes, then dip into a bowl filled with icing sugar.
- Place your cookies onto a cooling rack, and allow them to cool completely.
- Finally, give your cookies a generous dusting with the remaining icing sugar.
