Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
6 tablespoons sugar
2 cups flour
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/4 vanilla bean

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

2. Grind the almonds and the seeds from vanilla bean (split and scrape) in a blender or food processor.

3. Mix all ingredients together in the order they are given.

4. Shape cookie dough into half moons and place on un-greased cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 1 hour.

You can replace vanilla bean with 1 teaspoon (or more to taste) of pure vanilla extract. You do not need to add it to the ground almonds, just add it to your mix.
