INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup ground almonds
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 whole vanilla bean

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
  2. Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry blender, then quickly knead into a dough.
  3. Shape dough into logs and cut off 1/2 inch pieces. Shape each piece into a crescent and place on a non-stick paper lined cookie sheet.
  4. Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 1 minute and carefully roll in vanilla sugar. (To make vanilla sugar, blend 1/2 vanilla bean with 1 cup of sugar, sieve). Tip: vanilla sugar comes out like powered sugar, to make it stick to the cookie better, I mix it with regular sugar.
