Ingredients
- 500 g Wheat flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 packet Vanilla sugar
- 180 g Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 0,5 tsp Cinammon
- 0,5 tsp Ginger bread spice
- 1 pinch Pimento
- 1 pinch Ground carnations
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 220 g Margarine
- 150 g Ground hazelnuts
- 50 g Ground almonds
- Some flour to roll out
- Different cookie cutters
- Parchment paper
For decorating z. B., depending on your taste:
- Icing sugar for a frosting
- e.g. orange or lemon juice
- Chocolateglaze
- Hazelnut brittle
- Chopped pistachios
- Coconut flakes
- Dark chocolate shavings and milk chocolate
- Elderberry jelly
- For me a mixture of everything that was there 🙂
Instructions
- Mix the flour and baking powder in a kneading bowl. Make a well in the flour, add sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs and spices. Knead everything loosely. Cut the margarine into pieces and add to it with the ground hazelnuts and almonds. Knead all ingredients into a smooth dough and shape into a ball. Wrap in cling film and let cool for about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (top and bottom heat). Roll out the dough on a floured surface approx. 4 mm thin and cut out with any shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. The total amount of dough is approx. Four baking trays.
- The cookies can be decorated as you like. I made a classic frosting with water, a frosting with blood orange juice, a chocolate glaze with milk chocolate, and a glaze with warmed elderberry jelly. We then decorated the cookies with hazelnut brittle, coconut flakes, finely chopped pistachios, grated chocolate dark / milk chocolate. My daughter was very creative ;-), then sprinkled coconut flakes and pistachios or hazelnut brittle together on the biscuits, but that doesn't detract from the taste. Somehow these cookies always taste like a nice childhood memory :-). The little cook fairy was absolutely thrilled and so was I, have fun trying it out.
- Important: Let the frosting and the chocolate / elderberry icing dry completely and then pack them airtight.
