     apart. Bake until bottoms are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on pan a
     few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle
     lightly with confectioners' sugar before serving.
   
      This winning recipe is from Mila Tomisek of Chicago. She prefers to
     use unsalted butter, but says margarine can be substituted. The
     cookies are very fragile.   Mila first began baking these small,
     buttery, crescent-shaped cookies with her grandmother during World
     War I; today, at 82, she still bakes them for her children and
     grandchildren. from the Chicago Tribune third annual Food Guide
