WEIHNACHTSKEKSE (GERMAN CHRISTMAS COOKIES)



Weihnachtskekse (German Christmas Cookies) image

My grandmother used to tell me about these cookies all the time, when she gave the recipe to me, I knew I needed to save it here. The yield depends on cookie cutter sizes. I got about 24 cookies using small trees and stars as cutters. Time accounts for 3 batches in the oven.

BETHMAENNCHEN - GERMAN CHRISTMAS COOKIES



Bethmaennchen - German Christmas Cookies image

My family first had these yummy almond cookies (pronounced "BAIT-men-chen") when a German exchange student made them for us at Christmas time so she could have a taste of home. She blanched, skinned, and halved the almonds herself, which took most of the preparation time. When pressed for time I have substituted store-bought chopped almonds, but I'm told that that's anathema for anyone who wants the real thing. This prep time excludes preparing the almonds.

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup almond halve, plus
2 tablespoons peeled almond halves
120 almond halves, reserved for decoration
3/4 cup prepared marzipan, plus
2 tablespoons prepared marzipan (a prepared almond paste usually packaged in logs, available in specialty food stores)
1 tablespoon rose water
7 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 small eggs
3 1/2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Finely grind the measured almonds.
  • Break the marzipan dough into small pieces and mix with one of the eggs, rosewater, powdered sugar, ground almonds and flour.
  • Separate the remaining egg and beat the yolk, set aside.
  • Form marzipan mixture into balls the size of walnuts.
  • Press three almond halves onto the sides of each ball. The almonds should stand up and down and be evenly spaced around the ball.
  • Brush each ball with the beaten yolk and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Place cookie sheet on the middle rack and bake 15 minutes until golden brown.
