Preparation

Step 1

In small bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, hazelnut flour and salt. Beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy. Split vanilla bean, scrape out seeds using back of thin knife and add to butter with egg yolk. Beat until combined. Gradually mix in flour mixture until just combined.

Roll batter into 12-inch log, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cut log into 18 pieces and roll each piece into crescent shape. Put crescents on lined baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are set and bottoms and edges are browned, about 14 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for few minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar while warm, and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
