Cook15 min
Total35 min
Servings30 cookies

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

  2. Mix thoroughly, then add the 2 eggs and mix again.

  3. Add the baking powder and the sifted flour and work into a soft, supple dough.

  4. Pinch off pieces of dough, shape small crescents and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes.

  6. Put the apricot jam in a bowl.

  7. Dip the top of each cooled crescent in the apricot jam, then roll it in the shredded coconut.

Tips:
  • Use good-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Chilling the dough for at least an hour makes it easier to work with.
  • Bake the crescents at a moderate temperature so they stay pale. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container.
