1 ¼ cups butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
3 egg yolks
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups ground almonds
2 tablespoons vanilla sugar

Steps:

  • Beat butter and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add egg yolks to creamed butter mixture and beat until smooth.

Categories     Nut

Yield 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

560 g Flour
160 g Sugar
400 g Butter, (room temperature)
200 g Almond, Hazelnut or Peanuts finely grated
100 g Confection sugar
4 Pkt. Vanille sucker

Steps:

  • Mix Flour, Butter, Sugar and nuts. Mix with hand until it forms a dough. Put dough in refrigerator for 1 hour. Put oven to 375 F. Divide the dough into several parts. Make rolls that are approximately 0.5-1 inch thick. Cut the rolls into 1 inch pieces, and bend the pieces into the shape of a semicircle ( just like a croissant). Place the kipferl on a baking tray, and leave them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 15 minutes. When done, remove kipferl carefully from the tray. While still warm, dip the kipferl in a mixture of confectioners' sugar and vanilla sugar.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter. The butter is the key ingredient in these cookies, so it's important to use the best quality butter you can find. Look for butter that is unsalted and has a high fat content (82% or higher).
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just beginning to brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Roll the cookies in confectioners' sugar while they are still warm. This will help the sugar to adhere to the cookies and give them a festive look.

Conclusion:

Vanilla Kipferl are a delicious and festive Christmas cookie that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make, so they are perfect for busy holiday bakers. With their delicate vanilla flavor and crescent moon shape, these cookies are sure to add a touch of magic to your holiday celebrations.
