Cookie recipes #1 - Vanillekipferl

[wiseheart]

I promised them to elentari_valie and thought probably other people would be interested, too. We'll start with a time-honoured recipe of my Granny, "Vanillekipferl".

Ingredients:
250-260 gr white flour
70 gr white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla-flavoured sugar
100 gr ground almonds
250 gr butter or margarine (room temperature)
vanilla-flavoured powdered sugar to roll them in it when baked

Preparation:
- Mix flour, sugar, vanilla-sugar, almonds and butter on a desk. Kneed it to a smooth dough. Rest dough (wrapped in tinfoil) in the fridge for one hour.
- Take dough from the fridge. Form a long roll. Cut slices (about the width of a finger). Roll them and form little kipferls (half-moons).
- Put them on a baking tin (on baking paper). Bake them in a hot oven (in the middle, in the case of a gas oven on level 2) for 15-20 minutes.
- Take the hot cookies from the baking tin and roll them in vanilla-flavoured, powdered sugar generously.
-They keep for at least 3 weeks, in well-sealed tin box.

Enjoy!

And another childhood favorite! Oh, hon, you really are bringing back the days of when my grandmother and great grandmother would bake up a storm in preparation for the holidays. God the house always smelled so good!

Yeah, it smelled like heaven here for a while. Vanillekipferl are Mum's favourites, she's always beside herself when I bake them.
