Vanillas Kifli

Ingredients

Ingredients

Beat butter with sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Beat in yolks and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour.

Turn out onto counter and knead as you would bread until well combined.

Form into a ball, cover with a bowl and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).

To form the crescents, roll about 1 tablespoon of the dough in the palms of your hands.

Then continue rolling to form a rope about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick.

Bend rope to form crescent.

Repeat with remaining dough, placing on ungreased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart.

Bake on centre sheet of preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Cookies should be white in colour.

To prevent breaking, cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.

Then, while cookies are still warm, carefully roll in vanilla sugar.

Repeat with remaining cookies. Cool cookies completely.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a double boiler set over simmering water.

When cookies are cool, dip tips of each cookie in melted chocolate, then set on waxed paper to dry.
