   Stir flour, sugar and powdered almonds. Scrape out the vanilla bean and add black seeds. Also add cold vegan butter in small pieces.

   Knead until you get a nice, soft dough. If it's still too dry, add a little bit of cold water.

3. 3

   Form dough into a thick roll (about 3-4 cm thick), put wrapping film around it and keep cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 360°F.

   After 1 hour of cooling, you can cut the roll into slices (about 1cm thick) and form small crescent shapes out of it. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven.

   In a small bowl, mix vanilla sugar and icing sugar and turn vanilla crescents in it while they are stil hot. Afterwards, let them cool down.
