Vanilla kipferl/cookies. The cookies are always called "Vanilla Kipferl", not just "Kipferl" because the vanilla sugar is an integral part of the flavor for these cookies. The vanilla sugar coating on the outside of the cookie gives a big vanilla flavor as soon as you bite into the cookie. That's kind of what makes them special and not just another nut cookie. However, if you don't have a vanilla pod laying around, you can also make vanilla sugar using pure vanilla extract. To make your own vanilla sugar using vanilla extract, place ½ tsp pure vanilla extract and ¼ c sugar in your food processor.
Place the cookies a non-stick or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
