Ingredients:

• 2 vanilla beans
• 110g icing sugar
• 250g flour
• 1 pinch of salt
• 210g butter
• 100g almonds

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vanilla Sugar:

   • Begin by cutting the vanilla beans lengthwise and carefully scraping out the fragrant cream from within.
   • Mix this exquisite vanilla cream with the icing sugar, ensuring a delightful blend of flavors.

2. Prepare the Dough:

   • Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt.
   • Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Incorporate 70g of the homemade vanilla sugar into the dough.
   • Finely chop the almonds and add them to the mixture, ensuring an even distribution of nuttiness throughout.

3. Form the Dough:

   • Work the ingredients together until they form a smooth, cohesive dough.
   • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 1 to 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.

4. Shape the Cookies:

   • Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
   • Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it into a long sausage shape, approximately 1 cm (1/2″) thick.
   • Cut the dough into segments, each measuring about 7 cm (3″) in length.
   • Bend each segment to form a classic crescent or half-moon shape, placing them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Bake the shaped cookies in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
   • Once baked, carefully transfer the Vanillekipferln from the baking sheet to a cooling rack.

6. Finishing Touches:

   • While the cookies are still warm, gently roll them in the remaining vanilla sugar, ensuring they are coated with sweetness.
   • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the cooling rack.
   • For an extra touch of elegance, dust the cooled Vanillekipferln with sifted icing sugar just before serving. (Optional)
