German Christmas Biscuits
The number of recipes for German Christmas cookies is staggering. Each biscuit type tastes different and are normally only eaten around Christmas time. In Germany they are called Weihnachtsplätzchen. During the first Advent German cookies are baked in abundance to be enjoyed right up to Christmas.
Each household has their own favourite recipes My mother-in-law really goes to town and bakes a huge variety. I tend to bake only a few of my favourites. If you love cinnamon, aniseed, vanilla and all those heavenly Christmas spices, you will just adore these homemade cookie recipes.
Wrap your cookies in cellophane, pack them in brightly coloured gift boxes and give cookies as gifts to friends and family. Bake them, eat them and enjoy my German christmas biscuits, but watch the calories!!!
