AUSTRIAN VANILLEKIPFERL (VANILLA CRESCENT COOKIES)

Steps:

• Combine the egg yolks, ground walnuts, sugar, flour, butter and 2 vanilla beans* in a large bowl and mix using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment on medium-low speed until the dough comes together. Then knead by hand a few times.
• Divide the dough in half and form into two 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F / 160°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Remove one dough log from the fridge and slice it into 20 equal pieces. On a lightly-floured surface, roll the dough pieces quickly with your fingers into small logs (about 1/2-inch (1.3cm) in diameter) with a thicker center and thinner endings. Then shape into crescents. Place on one of the prepared baking sheets and bake for 13-15 minutes until the cookies look pale, puffed, and dry. While the first batch is baking, prepare the second dough. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
• Mix together the sifted powdered sugar and the beans from 1 vanilla pod* in a small bowl. Sift the vanilla sugar over the vanilla crescents on both sides. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
