Finally it's pre-Christmas season again: Vanilla Crescents
November 24th, 2017 | bread & pastries
A German classic among the Christmas cookies. Vanilla crescents is a must on every plate of Christmas goodies. The crescents taste even better with homemade vanilla sugar. And it’s easy!

For those who like it more intense, fill the sugar and the dried pod in a hacker until both are quite fine. By the way, this vanilla sugar adds a perfect flavor to savory dishes as well! Try it!
