Dough
- 210 g butter

- 100 g Steirerkraft ground pumpkin seeds
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Steirerkraft Pumpkin Seed Oil PGI
- 1 pkg vanilla sugar

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 175 °C (345 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the butter into pieces and knead together with 2/3 of the flour. Then work in all the remaining ingredients, including the pumpkin seed oil, into a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough into 2 cm strands, cut off small pieces, shape into crescents, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly browned.
Dip the ends of the slightly cooled crescents into melted chocolate and immediately roll in ground pumpkin seeds.
