Method

Preparation time: 60 min
2 Baking Tray

Step 1

Quickly mix all the ingredients into a short-crust dough and leave it in a cool place for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 cm (0.4 in) before cutting it into small pieces and forming crescent-shaped biscuits.

Step 3

Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking tray and bake them at a moderate temperature (200°C / 392°F) for around 10 minutes or until they turn slightly brown.

Step 4

Mix icing and vanilla sugar, then toss the hot cookies in the mix.

Tip: Let the kids help with baking! Store the biscuits in a sealed tin for several days for them to become crumbly.
