Procedure
Knead the flour, butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg into a dough. Chill for a while.
Procedure
Roll out the dough to about ¼ cm thick.
Procedure
Cut round cookies out of the dough. For half the cookies, cut a small shape out of the middle—these will be the tops.
Procedure
Place the cookies on a greased tray and bake at 150°C for about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Procedure
Combine the powdered sugar and water to make a smooth icing. Carefully dip the top cookies in the icing to coat one face.

Read it through first
Skim all 6 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.
Scale it
Use the quantities listed in the original recipe. Adjust them manually if making a different batch size.
Storage
Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating
Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
