How to make the best christmas biscuits ever:
Tip
I prepare my dough the night before and store in fridge over night
It will last in the fridge for at least 3 days
When I roll my Kipferl I only take half of the dough out of fridge and get more once finished shaping
I buy my vanilla powder at a health food store. The taste is intense and the little jar lasts a long time...alternatively you could make Vanilla sugar but I only make mine with the powder
