This recipe is known in America as almond crescents. I converted the measurements and translated this recipe that has been in my family for generations. It's a German Christmas cookie.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup ground almonds

  • 1 cup unsalted butter

  • ¼ cup vanilla sugar

  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar, and ground almonds. Cut in butter with pastry blender, then quickly knead into a dough.

Tips

Cook's Note:

To make the Vanilla Sugar stick to the cookie better, I mix it with confectioners' sugar.
