“Vanillekipferl” are one of my favourite German / Austrian Christmas cookies. Currently, I have some at home (see picture) - unfortunately not self-baked. But I’ll bake some soon - and maybe you wanna give it a shot, too. You won’t regret it! ;)
For 18 servings you need:                          

 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

 1/3 cup (ca. 70g) white (powdered) sugar
 3/4 cup (100g) ground almonds
 3/4 cup (ca. 150g) unsalted butter
 1/2-1 whole vanilla bean


 Preheat your oven to 325° F (170° C). 
 Mix flour, sugar, almonds, vanilla. Then add the butter - knead everything into a dough. Wrap the dough in plastic foil to keep it fresh and put it into your fridge for 1 hour.
 Take dough out of the fridge again and shape it into “sausages”. Then cut off 1/2 inch pieces. Shape each piece into a crescent and put them on a paper lined cookie sheet. 
 Baking time is about 8-10mins. Cool cookies off for 1 minute and then roll them in vanilla sugar - you can prepare it yourself by mixing the vanilla bean with powdered / normal sugar. You can probabably get vanilla sugar at the supermarket, too.
