Instructions
Put flour and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl.
Mix everything quickly with cold hands until crumbly.
Add the egg yolk, sugar, vanilla sugar, cocoa and almonds and knead it by hand to form a dough.
Put the dough in a cool place for about 30 minutes. (With these temperatures, you could also put it outside for 15-20min).
Shape the dough into finger-thick rolls. Cut off about 2cm and form crescents. Put them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
Place the prepared crescents in a cool place for another 10 minutes before baking.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Bake the crescents in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar together in a small bowl.
Let the croissants cool down well. Then roll them with a fork / spoon in the icing sugar mixture.
