Ingredients
- 11 oz flour
- 9 oz unsalted butter at room temperature
- 4 oz granulated white sugar
- 3 units egg yolks
- 5 oz ground hazelnuts or ground almonds
- 1 sachet for vanilla sugar
- icing sugar
Instructions
-
On a clean table we put the dry ingredients: flour, the hazelnuts or almonds grounded and sugar, mix well and form a volcano.
-
Inside the volcano we put the yolks, and around the diced butter.
-
With the tips of the fingers we work the dough from the outside in as if "pinching" it until we obtain a compact dough.
-
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350ªF
-
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and separate it into pieces about the size of a walnut.
-
With our hands we form thinner sticks at the ends, which when put on a baking can lined with parchment paper we will curve to give the typical crescent shape.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown on the edges.
-
While cooking, mix the flower sugar with the vanilla sugar in a soup dish.Reserve
-
When taking the cookies out of the oven, we will carefully put them on the plate with the sugar for a few seconds so that they are impregnated with sugar.
-
Let cool and pass the cookies a second time for sugar and enjoy!
