Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup vanilla sugar, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, and sugar in a bowl; rub in butter using your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Add egg yolks and work into a smooth dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3
Turn dough onto a floured work surface; roll into long, thin pieces. Cut into 2-inch pieces and shape each piece into a crescent-shape. Place crescents on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4
Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately roll the crescents in vanilla sugar while hot. Set aside to cool.
