Vanille Rahmkipferl
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup ground almonds
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
4. Gradually add the flour and ground almonds to the butter mixture, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.
5. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to mix until the dough comes together and is smooth.
6. Take a small amount of dough and roll it into a log on a lightly floured surface.
7. Cut the log into even pieces and shape each piece into a crescent by rolling it between your palms and tapering the ends.
8. Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once the cookies have cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
