I love almond crescent cookies like my Grandma Mary used to make.
I can’t find her recipe in my house (my mom probably has it in Florida with her), so here is something similar from the internet lol.
SPOILER (click to toggle)
FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH:
▢ 2 cups all-purpose flour, spoon and level ▢ 1 pinch of salt ▢ 1 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes ▢ ¾ cup powdered sugar ▢ ¾ cup finely ground almonds, or hazelnuts or walnuts ▢ ½ vanilla pod, seeds scraped out or 2 tsp vanilla extract FOR THE SUGAR MIXTURE:
▢ ¾ cup powdered sugar ▢ ½ vanilla pod Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark INSTRUCTIONS
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine flour, salt, cubed butter, powdered sugar, nuts, and vanilla seeds. Mix at medium speed until a crumbly dough forms, about 1-2 minutes. If the dough is too crumbly add 1-2 Tbsp milk. Use your hands to press the dough together and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough for one hour in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the chilled dough into a log approximately ½ inch thick. Cut the log into 1 ½-inch pieces, form the pieces into small cylinders and taper the ends into dull points. Bend each one into a crescent shape. Place the Vanillekipferl on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake the Vanillekipferl one cookie sheet at a time for 12 to 15 min (depending on the size of the cookies) until the edges are golden. They should not brown. Scrape out vanilla pod and combine with powered sugar. This works great in a small food processor. Sift the mixture over the hot Vanillekipferl. Let them cool completely then give them a second dusting. These cookies keep fresh for about 3 weeks in an airtight container stored in a cool place.
Among my favourite Christmas treats are definitely Linzer Kipferl. They are not limited to Christmas though, you get them in bakeries all year round here.
Ingredients for 60 cookies
For the dough: 250 g Butter 100 g Powdered sugar 350 g Wheat flour, smooth 1 Egg 1 pcs. Bourbon Vanilla Pods, Whole 10 g Lemon Peel, Chopped 1 pinch Table Salt
For the filling: 100 g Apricot jelly
For the topping: 200 g Couverture chocolate, dark
Preparation
For the dough, beat the room temperature butter with the powdered sugar, the seeds from the vanilla pod and the lemon peel until fluffy, then gradually fold in the egg.
Fold the sieved flour into the butter mixture.
Then pipe crescent shapes onto the baking parchment using a piping bag and star nozzle and bake for 10 minutes at 180°C (356°F) using the fan setting until golden-brown.
Allow the cookie halves to cool, then join the halves together using apricot jelly.
Finally, melt 2/3 of the chocolate, then break up the remaining 1/3 into small pieces and mix into the melted mixture. Whisk the chocolate until all the lumps have disappeared. Dip the ends of the cookies into the chocolate and leave to set on the baking parchment.
