80 g powdered sugar
100 g finely grated hazelnuts
0.5 vanilla sugar
220 g butter (or other fat)

For coating

vanilla sugar
Recipe steps
We mix the flour with sugar, vanilla, and chopped nuts. Then we add pieces of butter, egg yolks, and grated lemon zest.
We quickly combine all the ingredients into a dough. Gradually, we shape it into longer rolls, cut them into pieces, and form small crescent shapes from them.
We place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with Teflon foil or baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 7 to 10 minutes.
After baking, we immediately coat them in sugar mixed with vanilla.
Additional information about the recipe Vanilla crescents
Vanilla crescent cookies are a traditional Czech Christmas treat that enchants with its delicate flavor and vanilla scent. These small, crescent-shaped pastries are made from buttery dough, into which ground nuts, usually walnuts, are added. After baking, they are coated in powdered sugar, which gives them sweetness and a characteristic appearance. Crescent cookies are popular not only during Christmas but also throughout the year, often as part of family traditions and festive celebrations. Their flaky texture and delicious taste ensure that they quickly disappear from any table.
