Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the flour and almond flour, stirring to make a cohesive dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
Break off walnut-sized pieces of the dough, and roll them into short (about 2-inch) logs. Shape the logs into crescents, then gently press to flatten them slightly.
Place the cookies on the prepared sheets.
Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until they're a light golden brown.
Remove them from the oven and let cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
While the cookies are cooling, process the sugar and vanilla bean in a food processor or blender until the bean is thoroughly ground.
Place the vanilla sugar in a shallow bowl. While the cookies are still warm, gently roll them in the vanilla sugar.
Transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
