These classic vanillekipferl, or vanilla crescent cookies, are buttery, delicate, and melt in your mouth. Made with almond flour and vanilla, they are a traditional holiday cookie that is simple and elegant.
Make the dough - Cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla and salt, then mix in the flour and almond flour until the dough comes together.
1 cup Unsalted butter, ½ cup Powdered sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp Salt, 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup Almond flour
Chill the dough - Wrap the dough and chill for about 15 minutes, or until firm enough to shape.
Shape crescents: Take small portions of dough and roll into short logs, then gently curve the ends to form crescents. Keep them similar in size so they bake evenly.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Then bake these for 12 to 15 minutes until just lightly golden at the edges. They should stay fairly pale.
Cool: Let the cookies cool for a few minutes, then dust generously with powdered sugar.
2 tbsp Powdered sugar
