Kipferl cookies originate from Vienna, Austria and we love to bake them at Christmas. They melt in your mouth.
Kipferl cookies originate from Vienna, Austria and we love to bake them at Christmas. They melt in your mouth.
Ingredients for approx. 25 - 30 Kipferl
- 260g (2 1/2 cups) plain flour
- sieved
- 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 100g (1/2 cup) ground almonds
- 1 egg yolk
- 200g (1 cup) soft butter
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tabelspoons icing sugar to dust the kipferl
Put approximately 200g sugar into a screw-top jar, slice one Vanilla Bean, remove the pulp with a small spoon and cut the bean into 2 or 3 pieces. Add pulp and the vanilla bean pieces to the sugar. Close the jar and shake well. Let the vanilla sugar rest for a few days, shake occasionally.
Directions
Mix the butter, salt, vanilla sugar and egg yolk in a bowl using a hand mixer.
Add ground almonds and flour and quickly knead a firm dough.
Divide the dough into quarters and form four rolls, each one about 2 to 3cm. thick. Cover the rolls with cling wrap and cool them for about an hour.
Flour the worktop and cut the rolls into slices (about as thick as a finger) and form little crescents.
Put the Kipferl on a greased baking sheet, or a sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 160°C / 320°F in a pre-heated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the almond crescents carefully with a palette knife.
Fill the icing sugar into a small bowl and dust the Kipferl while they are still warm.
Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack.
Yum Yum Good! Oh and the smell is wonderful!
Why look at all my cards. We have made a lot of friends in Blogville.
Why we even have three presents under our Christmas Tree.
One from CowSpotDog.
One from The Chronicles of Wallace & Samuel.
And one from a new friend Change Is Hard.
All were surprises to Lee and me. They have made us smile every day.
Thanks for being a friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of mine

Hi Bentley ~ I love my scottie apron! I got it at Anthropologie.com. I love the fact that it is not the standard black and white. I have one of their stores near me and it was on the sale rack.

Ringy-dingy-dingy, Sir William. Why, those Kipferl look delicious. It is too bad my Ma cannot bake...at all. I believe she lacks the necessary patience to measure appropriately. BOL

Have a Merry Christmas!
Your good pal,
Oz
