TRADITIONAL MOON SHAPED VANILICI

 
Soft, fragrant, delicious, these cookies melt in your mouth and are the most beautiful vanilici I have tasted, they are perfect, and the recipe is from my grandmother's archive with a little modification from me. From this amount, you get 20 vanilici, if you want more, double or triple the dose.
