Bake with Me | Easy Vanillekipferl - Tradition Austrian Vanilla Cookies

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while margarine is often less expensive.

ground almonds

🥗Healthier: ground walnuts

💰Cheaper: ground sunflower seeds

Ground walnuts offer similar texture and flavor, while sunflower seeds are often more affordable.

Combine flour, ground almond, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Add 1 tsp vanilla powder and mix well.

Cut 200g cold butter into cubes and mix on low medium speed until the dough starts to come together and forms soft crumbs.

Turn the dough onto a worktop and gently press it together to form a ball.

Wrap the dough ball in plastic foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cut the cooled dough ball into 4 parts.

Form each part into a roll and cut into pieces approximately 1-2 cm thick.

Roll each piece into a ball, then into a short log, bending the ends downward to form crescents.

Place the vanillekipferl on a lined baking tray with parchment paper, not too close to each other.

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 12-15 minutes until the tips turn slightly golden brown.

Let the cookies cool for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

Sprinkle with a mixture of vanilla powder and powdered sugar until completely coated.
