Steps:
- Using a small, sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a small bowl. Discard the pod. Add 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and use a mortar or the back of a spoon to pound and mix them together. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and stir to combine. Cover and let stand at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Vanilla sugar can be made ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, indefinitely.
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat to 350°F.
- Using a food processor, grind the walnuts into a chunky paste then transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until completely incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add the flour in 3 batches and stir until a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape heaping tablespoons of dough into 3- to 4-inch-long ropes, tapering the ends. Curve each rope into a crescent shape. Transfer to a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake, switching the cookies between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until light golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 to 3 minutes then carefully roll them in vanilla sugar and place on racks to cool completely. Continue baking cookies on cooled baking sheets. DO AHEAD: The cookies can be baked ahead and stored, in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 3 days.
VIENNESE ALMOND CRESCENTS
Rooted in tradition, these Viennese Almond Crescents are deeply reminiscent of the cookies your grandma use to make-it might even be the same exact recipe. All it takes is one bite of these light and airy cookies and memories of Christmases past will come flooding back. Dusted with powdered sugar like fresh fallen snow, we think it's almost impossible to eat just one of these melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. This traditional Austrian dessert can be enjoyed after dinner with a hot cup of coffee and can be the standout treat on your Christmas cookie tray. The secret for the delicate crumb of these cookies? Almond meal-try making your own in a food processor with sliced almonds and sugar. For a flavor boost, try adding a splash of almond extract to the dough. Nothing compares to these sweet little crescent moons, and once you try this recipe, we think you'll be making these for many Christmases to come.

VIENNA CRESCENTS
I have to thank my Grandma Schatz for these delectable cookies. I always bake them to take to parties and Open Houses during the Christmas holidays, but these are wonderful any time of year! You can substitute ground walnut meats if that's easier, but the toasted hazelnuts taste amazing!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Farenheit.
- Grind the nuts (A mouli grater works quickly and easily).
- Work butter and sugar in a bowl until creamy.
- Add flour, salt, vanilla and nuts; mix until well blended.
- Using your hands, take ball of dough the size of a medium orange, and work it on the counter using both hands, rolling it until it looks like a rope, almost ½ inch thick. I have never chilled the dough, but you might chill it if you find it easier for handling it.
- Cut into three-inch lengths.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet, either on foil or parchment paper, curving them into "C" shapes about one inch apart, and bake 18 to 20 minutes.
- Cool crescents until cool enough to handle, and roll in confectioner's sugar, pressing gently so as not to break them, until completely covered.
- Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
- TOASTING HAZELNUTS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts in single layer on cookie sheet and toast until the skins begin to split, about 10 minutes. Rub the warm nuts vigorously with a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins. Return nuts to the pan and toast until fragrant and golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes more. (Remember to turn oven down for the cookies.).
