Ingredients

For the Cookies
  • ⅔ cup butter soft
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons vanilla sugar *see Notes
  • 1⅔ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ + 2 Tbs cup almond flour
Sugar Coating
  • vanilla sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Beat soft butter, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar fluffy.
  2. Add all-purpose flour and almond flour to the mixture and incorporate the ingredients to a smooth dough. Don't over work out the dough or it won't hold together later!
  3. Wrap dough in cling film and shape into a large sausage, about 2- 2.5 cm or 1 inch thick.
  4. Cool dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  5. Cut into thick slices so that each weighs about 20 grams (0.7oz).
  6. Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit/ 200° Celsius.
  7. Roll each dough slice into a smaller sausage with pointed ends and shape it into a half-moon/crescent form. Use all-purpose flour to help you so that nothing sticks on.
  8. Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray. Keep space between the cookies and bake for 10 minutes at 400° Fahrenheit/ 200° Celsius or until light golden colored.
  9. While the cookies are baking, prepare a plate with vanilla-flavored powdered (confectioners) sugar.
  10. Keep cookies to cool 2-3 minutes after baking before touching them.
  11. Coat cookies with vanilla-flavored powdered sugar while they are still warm.
  12. Store in a tin box lined with parchment paper. *see notes for hot humid climate storage instructions.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vanilla sugar with a few drops of vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
  • Store the cookies in a parchment layered tin box or in an airtight container (in a hor humid climate).
  • In a dry climate, you can also add apple peel to the cookie tin over a sheet of parchment paper liying over the cookies. The apple peel helps in keeping the cookies a bit moist and when you open the tin, it smells nice.
