- In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the egg yolks and sugars. Rub in the butter. Then mix in the egg yolks and knead well to form a dough.
- Place the dough in the fridge and chill for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Grease a baking tray with butter. Roll out the dough into pencils about 1cm thick, then cut into 5cm portions. Form the portions into crescents and place carefully on the baking tray.
- Bake 10 minutes until light brown.
- Mix together the icing sugar and vanilla sugar in a large bowl and gently toss the still warm cookies in the sugar, a few at a time.
