Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    0.35 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 1 cookie about 6 cm or 2 3/8 in long
  2. Temperature: 356 °F

    Preparing the dough

  1. Whisk the softened butter with the granulated Xylitol until the mix lightens visibly.
  2. Scrape out the vanilla pulp and add it to the mix. Alternatively, add about 1 to 2 tsp of vanilla extract.
  3. Add the egg yolk.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients and add them.
  5. You will get a crumbly dough. Bring it together with your hands.
  6. Form a roll, wrap it in cling film and chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

  7. Baking the cookies

  8. Divide the roll into small portions, perhaps 1/2 tablespoon per cookie. For example, cut the roll in half repeatedly.
  9. From each portion, form a small ball and press it into a crescent moon shape. The dough will still be crumbly, so work carefully.
  10. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10 minutes. The cookies are ready when the tips start to darken.
  11. Let cool and dust with some powdered xylitol.
