Hello to all of you. I went to this cafe that has this pastry that I can’t stop eating. It has a crescent form and is unlike anything I have ever had. We refer to it as Vanilj Horn cookies. I would be very grateful if someone could provide a recipe!

You can try this recipe which I found online somewhere:
Ingredients
- 100 g butter
- 260 g sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
- 115 ml vegetable oil
- 220 g plain all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon hjorthornssalt
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 150°C (300ºF). Line two baking trays with grease-proof paper.
- Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until it is smooth and fluffy
- Add the oil a little at a time, until incorporated.
- Mix the hjorthornssalt with a little flour and add to the oil/butter mixture. Add the remaining flour and mix well.
- Divide the dough into two and work both into long rolls (it isn’t the easiest dough to handle and the best thing to do is squeeze it until you can manipulate it into rolls). Cut each roll into 15 or 20 pieces and roll into balls (again, there may need to be some squeezing going on to achieve this).
- Place on the prepared trays with space in between and bake in the middle of the oven for around 20 minutes, just until only the edges start to brown - the cookies will be fairly pale, but this is how they should look. They are fairly delicate so let them sit on their baking tray until they have cooled then move them to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.

To make Vanilj Horn (Vanilla Crescent) cookies, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup finely ground almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture to form a crumbly dough. Shape into small crescents and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. While warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar and let cool completely before enjoying.
