The best Vanilla Crescent Cookie recipe for Christmas! Traditionally baked in December in Germany and loved by (almost) all. Almond flour and Vanilla give these cookies their specific and heavenly taste. And like always: Fresh tastes best!
Ingredients
- 250 g Flour
- 120 g Almond Flour or Meal
- 125 g Sugar
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Sugar
- ¼ tsp Baking Powder
- 3 Egg Yolks
- 200 g cold Butter
- some Confectioners Sugar (Powdered Sugar)
Instructions
-
Mix all ingredients to a firm dough – either by hand or by machine.
-
Roll the dough into two thick strands.
-
Cut portions out of the strands.
-
Shape each portion into a crescent shape and place it on a baking sheet.
-
Leave enough space between the cookies since they will become larger during baking.
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C / 390°F.
-
Bake the Vanilla Crescents for about 10 minutes – maybe more or less, depending on the size of your cookies.
-
After baking, let the cookies cool just a few minutes, then continue with the next step.
-
Put the confectioners’ sugar and optionally add some vanilla sugar and almond flour to it, then use a sieve to sprinkle it generously onto the cookies.
