Overview
- Stern republishes RTL.de’s step‑by‑step version of Johann Lafer’s family recipe, specifying 160°C for about 15 minutes and pre‑infusing powdered sugar with vanilla pods.
- BILD includes Vanille‑Kipferl in a five‑cookie roundup and instructs baking at 200°C for roughly 10 minutes, presenting slightly different quantities for a 30‑piece batch.
- TAG24 offers a practical how‑to with 175°C fan‑assisted baking for 10 to 15 minutes and suggests rolling the crescents in vanilla sugar instead of powdered sugar for stronger aroma.
- Across the guides, recurring technique tips stress using only egg yolk, keeping the butter cold, chilling the dough, and coating the cookies when still slightly warm.
- Additional home‑baking advice from TAG24 includes brief cooling on a rack to prevent breakage and storing fully cooled cookies in tins, optionally with apple slices to retain moisture.
