Ingredients
 

For crescent cookies:

  • 175 g all-purpose flour
  • 50 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
  • 8 g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
  • 8 g (1 package) vanilla sugar *
  • 80 g ground walnuts
  • pinch sea salt
  • 120 g vegan butter, soft, (around 75-80% fat)

For sugar coating:

  • 80 g powdered sugar
  • 8 g (1 package) vanilla sugar

Instructions

  • To the mixing bowl, sift all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Add vanilla sugar, ground walnuts, and sea salt. Mix all together. Then add soft vegan butter. Knead everything using a hand mixer or your hands to knead the dough until it forms.
  • Roll the dough into a 16 cm (6,3 in) long roll and wrap it in a plastic wrapper. Put the dough into the fridge for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to let the dough firm.
  • After chilling the dough, take it off the fridge**. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Cut the roll with a knife into 16 slices (1 slice should be about 1 cm/0,4 inch thick).
  • Then divide each into 4 even pieces (the edges probably into 2-3 pieces). Roll each slice into a small roll (about 6,5 cm/2,6 inches long) and carefully bend both ends to form a crescent cookie shape. If the dough is breaking apart, try to knead the dough a few times in your hand to warm it a little.
  • Carefully transfer the cookies onto a baking tray with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven for about 7-12 minutes until the ends start to get slightly golden. Baking time depends on how thick your cookies are, so make sure to keep your eyes on them.
  • Meanwhile, the cookies are baking, mix powdered sugar and vanilla sugar (or ground vanilla) in a deep plate.
  • After cookies are baked, let cool for about 1-2 minutes. Then, when they are still warm, transfer to the plate with vanilla sugar mix and fully coat them in it.
  • Let the cookies cool completely and enjoy! ***

Notes

* You can also use ground vanilla.
** Depending on how cooling your fridge is, you may need to let the dough thaw for about 15 minutes to make it easier to work with it.
*** Store your cookies in an airtight container (make sure they are cooled completely).
