For 12 portions

Ingredients

420 g all-purpose flour
220 g softened butter
2 packets of vanilla sugar

optional: powdered sugar for coating, lemon zest or ground cinnamon

Preparation procedure

Put all ingredients into a bowl and work into a smooth, non-sticky dough.
Shape the dough into small balls, crescents, or flat rounds – depending on your mood.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for 10–12 minutes, until they begin to turn lightly golden.
Once cooled, you can roll them in powdered sugar mixed with vanilla sugar – or leave them plain.

Tip: For a more delicate flavor add a little grated lemon zest. If you prefer a stronger aroma, try mixing ground cinnamon or a handful of ground nuts into the dough.
