Authentic German Cookie Recipes

Christmas Cookie Recipes

The number of Christmas cookie recipes is staggering. Each type tastes different and are only eaten around Christmas time. In Germany they are called Weihnachtsplätzchen. During the first Advent they 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 recipes.

Wrap them in cellophane, pack them in brightly coloured gift boxes and give cookies as gifts to friends and family. Bake them, eat them, enjoy them, but watch the calories!!!

Enjoy my cookie recipes at any time of year.
