Instructions
Let's Begin!
- In a medium bowl, combine together the flour, salt, butter, sugar, almond, and vanilla extract. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
- Use your hands to press the dough together, then wrap it in plastic wrap. Then chill the dough for at least an hour in the fridge.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Then line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake the Vanillekipferl for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden but not browned.
- Combine the powdered sugar and vanilla, then sift the mixture over the hot Vanillekipferl. Let them cool completely then give them a second dusting.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
