Vanilkové rohlíčky cookies from Hořkosladká

Vanilkové rohlíčky are crescent shaped biscuits.

They are usually made with ground almonds or hazelnuts. They get

their typical flavour from a heavy dusting of vanilla sugar. These cookies are also

widely baked in Germany and are common in Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia as a

part of the typical Christmas baking. Unlike other pastries, this particular kind is

difficult to bake. The batter used when hardened is very fragile. It takes a

skilled pair of hands to create the vanilkové rohlíčky or the horse-shoe

shape without breaking the biscuit
