Sweet Dreams, ### IMPORTED myFavorites, Swiss, Xmas, Cookies
Vanille Kipferl. To import, drag image to your MacGourmet recipe box.
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
2 Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry blender, then quickly knead into a dough.
3 Shape dough into logs and cut off 1/2 inch pieces. Shape each piece into a crescent and place on a non-stick paper lined cookie sheet.
4 Bake approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 1 minute and carefully roll in vanilla sugar. (To make vanilla sugar, blend 1/2 vanilla bean with 1 cup of sugar, sieve). Tip: vanilla sugar comes out like powered sugar, to make it stick to the cookie better, I mix it with regular sugar.

NOTES : Not too good - had big troubles creating them without them falling apart. Had to re-bake the whole thing.
This recipe is known in America as almond crescents. I converted the measurements and translated this recipe that has been in my family for generations. It's a german christmas cookie.
