Pistachio Vanilla Crescents with White Chocolate

• 200 g butter, cold, cut into pieces

• 80 g ground almonds

• 20 g ground pistachios

(you can vary the ratio and use more pistachio and less almonds if you like)

• 5 g ground pistachios for the decoration

• 40 g powdered sugar (if you like it sweeter, you can use more)

• 1 packet vanilla sugar

• vanilla pulp

• 100 g white chocolate

Knead the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and vanilla pulp until creamy. Mix in the flour and ground almonds and pistachios. Chill the dough for 30 minutes. Shape into small rolls, bend into crescent cookies, and bake at 170 °C (340 °F) for 10 – 12 minutes. Let cool. Melt the white chocolate, dip the crescents, and sprinkle with ground pistachios.

Enjoy!
