Add soft butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar to a bowl. With a handheld mixer, mix on high until creamy. Add the egg and mix again. Add the flour and almond meal and mix until a smooth dough forms. Lastly, add the lemon juice and lemon zest (optional) and quickly incorporate them.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll it into long pieces (about 1 inch or 3 cm thick). Wrap each piece in plastic and transfer them to the refrigerator for 30 mins.
Remove dough logs from the refrigerator. Cut them into small pieces (½ inch or 1 cm thick). Add a little flour to your work surface and form each piece into a crescent shape.
Place the dough crescents on a prepared baking sheet. Bake them in a preheated oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for about 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the vanilla dusting sugar: combine vanilla sugar and powdered sugar in a small bowl.
Remove the vanilla crescents from the oven. Roll the hot cookies in the vanilla sugar mixture and let them cool down on a wire rack.
