Baking German Christmas Cookies

Like it or not, Christmas is fast approaching and it is time to start planning what to bake. To help you out with this I have gathered up my Christmas cookie (Plaetzchen) posts and reposted them here for you to drool over browse through.









If you have any questions, comment and I'll reply. Happy baking! Fionnuala

    1. They really are one of the high points of the German culinary calendar :) We make hundreds (I am not joking!) of them every December - 40 to 80 of each of the types above and sometimes a few other types too.

    1. Thanks Catherine. I can safely say they are delicious. I have been making the above for the last 6 or 7 years and they always get gobbled up fairly snappy.

    1. They are yum Lisa. Traditionally this cooie is star shaped (Zimtsterne, if you are ever in Germany and come across them) but I think that being white they lend themselve to the snowman cutter ;)
      I hope you do try them and your youngest enjoys them.

    1. Thanks Stephanie. I am a bit obsessed with getting as many cookies cut out of one piece of dough as possible without having to re-roll :)
