These crescent-shaped cookies are inspired by Italian anise seed-studded cookies called Giambelli di Vino – little donut-shaped cookies made with wine (hence the name), studded with plenty of anise seed, and rolled in sugar to give them a nice crunch. I created my own version: little crescents reminiscent both in look and texture of German Vanille Kipferl, crumbly from the addition of ground oats to the dough and perfect to be eaten throughout the year.
