Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Ground almonds
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and ground almonds.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Lightly flour your work surface, then take small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into a small log shape, about 6 cm (2.5 inches) long.
Curve each log into a crescent shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, lightly dust the Kiflins with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
