Wrap the dough in foil or place it in a covered container and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Take the dough out of the fridge and cut it into small portions to form crescent shapes.

Place the shaped cookies on the baking tray, ensuring they have space between them.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, being careful not to overbake as they will burn.

Mix 60 g of icing sugar with 1 pack of vanilla sugar for dusting.

Sprinkle the icing sugar mixture on top of the warm cookies, or roll them in the mixture for extra sweetness.
