Vanilla Shortbread Cookies
Vanilla Shortbread cookies, also called Vanillekipferl are so buttery and nutty with the almond and hazelnut powder, you can't eat just one! Easy to make!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Almond meal 50g
- ¾ cup Hazelnut meal 50g
- 2 ¼ cup Flour 250g
- ¼ cup Sugar + a cup 50g
- 1 pinch of salt
- a little less than ½ cup Soft Butter, (cut in cube packed) 200g
- 2 egg yolks large
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: almond and hazelnut powders, flour, sugar and salt. Mix well.
- Add the butter previously cut in pieces and then the egg yolks.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Mix it and work the dough so it becomes a ball and the ingredients are mixed together and hold. It will not look smooth.
- Shape it as you wish. I found that making little balls is easier as it is very fragile when it comes out of the oven.
- Bake it in a warm oven at 345F for about 10-12 minutes.
- Let it cool down and toss it in the cup of sugar that you have previously mix with the vanilla powder.
