Vanilla Kifli, also known as Vanillekipferl, are delicate Hungarian almond crescent biscuits with a soft, crumbly texture and a snowy coating of vanilla sugar. These classic European cookies are a staple at Christmas but are just as perfect year-round with a cup of coffee or tea.

In this full tutorial, I’ll guide you through:

The traditional kifli dough and why nuts replace flour strength

How butter temperature affects the melt-in-the-mouth texture

Shaping perfect crescents that bake evenly

Coating warm biscuits in vanilla sugar for maximum flavour

Storage tips to keep them tender and aromatic

This recipe is based on old-world Central European baking traditions, where ground almonds, real butter, and vanilla create a biscuit that’s light, fragrant, and not overly sweet.
Perfect for festive baking, gift tins, or building a European Christmas biscuit box.
