I have mentioned this before—I love Christmastime in Germany! I love the Christmas markets, the mulled wine, and all the fantastic dishes and sweets!As quickly as I fell in love with potato cakes and Flammkuchen, I fell in love with German Christmas Cookies. Today, I am giving you the best Vanillekipferl recipe I know. Vanillekipferl are well known in Germany and Austria(where they originated from), Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. The main ingredients are ground almonds and, of course, vanilla:) Two years ago, I had the opportunity to learn how to bake them with my husband’s sister, Katharina. She invited me to German Christmas baking, and I was inquisitive about how the cookies would turn out. As much as I love cooking – this much I fear baking. But under her guidance, our cookies turned out to be delicious! From then on, I have been confident about baking Christmas cookies independently. Christmas baking is essential to German culture; I am glad I have learnt it from the best! The recipe below is the recipe I use for my traditional Christmas Vanillekipferl. I hope you will enjoy it!
