Prepare the necessary ingredients.
Dry the walnuts slightly in a dry pan.
50 g walnut
Then chop the nuts into fine crumbs. This can be done with a rolling pin, chopper, or coffee grinder.
Cream the soft butter (room temperature) with sugar and a pinch of salt.
100 g butter, 30 g sugar, 1 g salt
Add the chopped nuts, flour, and vanillin. No leavening agent is used in this recipe.
125 g flour, 1 g vanillin
Knead the soft dough, gather it into a ball, and refrigerate for 1.5 - 2 hours.
After the specified time, start shaping the cookies. For this, pinch off a piece of the chilled dough, roll it into a long rope. Cut it into pieces (about 7 cm long) and shape into a crescent.
Lay out all the blanks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies in a preheated 180°C (356°F) oven for about 7—9 minutes. The cookies bake very quickly, so it is not recommended to leave them unattended.
While still hot, roll the cookies in powdered sugar. The cookies turn out to be very crumbly, with a light nutty flavor. Enjoy your meal!
