Vanillekipferl are crescent-shaped almond shortbread cookies traditionally made at Christmas time in many European countries, e.g., Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They're a very close cousin to nut snowballs or Mexican wedding cookies, but the dough is much smoother with the addition of almond flour. I love that they aren't too sweet so you don't feel guilty eating so many. I'll be including them in this year's holiday cookie box.
