Vanilla Crescent Cookies

The Austrian classic

Ingredients

• 210 g flour
• 150 g butter
• 75 g ground almond
• 50 g sugar
• 2 tbsp. milk or heavy cream

Additionally: - 3 tbsp. vanilla sugar - 3 tbsp. powdered sugar

Instructions

Combine all ingredients by hand and thoroughly kneed the dough until smooth. Put into the fridge and let rest. Afterwards bake for about 7 minutes at 350°F (180°C).

Mix the vanilla sugar and powdered sugar in a bowl, and use a fine-meshed collander to sift it over the fresh cookies while they are still hot out of the oven. Who likes it particularly sweet can also sprinkle the same mixture over the back of the cookie. However be careful when flipping – while hot the cookies are very brittle and break easily.

Tip: To ensure cookies of the same shape and size, make balls for 7 gram from the dough (use your kitchen scales to check)
