Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 to 20 minutes, or overnight if needed.

If refrigerated overnight, let the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes before kneading again.

Take a piece of dough and roll it into a stick, then shape it into a crescent moon.

Place the shaped cookies onto a baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes.

Take the cookies out of the oven and sprinkle a mixture of vanilla sugar and powdered sugar on top.
