Traditional German and Austrian cookies, typically shaped into crescent or moon shapes and are often served during the Christmas holiday season. These are my favourite Christmas cookies. Easy to prepare, delicious, crunchy with a melt in your mouth texture, Vanilla crescent cookies or as we call them in Austria Vanillekipferl.
