Vanilla sugar always reminds me of Christmas.

My mother, Gran Fran, uses confectioner's sugar with vanilla in it to coat her Viennese Crescent cookies (post coming soon!). I always keep a jar mixed in my refrigerator for a last minute baking project. My sister Noel (she of baking fame from this post) suggested making a confectioner's and a standard white sugar (or raw sugar) mixed with vanilla to give as gifts.
