Mince Twists

1 (8 oz.) pkg. (8 count) refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 C. prepared mincemeat
1/2 C. chopped pecans
1/2 C. sifted powderedsugar (optional)
1/8 tea. vanilla extract (optional)
Milk (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease two cookie sheets; set aside.

Unroll crescent rolls and separate into triangles; cut each triangle lengthwise into thirds to make three triangles (24 total).

In a sm. mixing bowl, combine mincemeat and pecans. Spoon about 1 tea. of the mixture onto each dough triangle, spreading to cover surface of dough. Fold in corners, overlapping slightly in the center. Place 1 in. apart on prepared cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 12 min. or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

For icing, if desired, in a sm. mixing bowl, stir together the powderedsugar, vanilla, and enough milk (1 to 2 tea.) to make a mixture of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Makes 24 twists.
