COSY CHRISTMAS BAKING: 3 OF THE MOST POPULAR CHRISTMAS BISCUITS IN GERMANY// Good evening, We received some questions whether we would bake again during the festive season and oh yes, of course! This time we share 3 very popular Christmas biscuits (Weihnachtsplätzchen) with you: Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescents), Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) and Linzer Plätzchen. All of them very easy to make and simply part of a German Christmas. Hope you will enjoy. Kirsten & Joerg x

RECIPE 'VANILLEKIPFERL:
Ingredients
140g ground almonds
210g soft butter
280g flour
2 egg yolks
40g sugar
pinch of salt
about 100g icing sugar
4 sachets Vanillinzucker
Method
Kneat the ground almonds, butter, flour, egg yolks, sugar and salt. Create 3-4 rolls (diameter about 3-4cm). Put into cling film and cool in fridge for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Cut the rolls into slices of about 1cm. Create 'Kipferl' and put onto baking tray with baking paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Take Kipferl out of the oven.
Mix icing sugar with Vanillinzucker and batter the Kipferl in the mixture while they are still hot. Enjoy!
RECIPE 'LINZER PLÄTZCHEN':
Ingredients
300g flour
100g ground almonds
120g icing sugar
1 vanilla pod
pinch of salt
200g soft butter
2-3 egg yolks (depending on the size of your eggs)
100g raspberry jelly or jam
2 tbsp icing sugar
Method
Kneat the ingredients for the dough. Put the dough into the fridge for about 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Roll out your dough to about 4 mm. Using Linzer cookie cutters, cut an even number of bottoms and tops. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Let the biscuits cool. Warm up the jam or jelly and spread onto the bottom half of the cooled biscuits. Dust the tops of the biscuits with icing sugar and put them on top of the jam coated biscuit. Enjoy!
RECIPE 'ZIMTSTERNE'
Ingredients
2 egg whites
100g fine icing sugar
350 ground almonds
3-4 tsp ground cinnamon
For the icing
1 egg white
100 very fine icing sugar
Method
Beat the egg whites half way. Add the icing sugar and keep on beating until stiff. Add the almonds and cinnamon and mix well. Wrap the batter in cling film and put into the fridge (at least for 2 hours, even better overnight).
Sprinkle some ground almonds onto your worktop. Roll out your dough (1 cm thick) and use a star cookie cutter. Make sure to tip the cookie cutter into cold water in between as the batter is very sticky.
Put onto a baking tray that is lined with baking paper. For the icing beat the egg white and add the fine icing sugar towards the until and then beat until stiff.
Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius. Use a baking brush to brush the top of the Zimtsterne with the icing. Bake the Zimtsterne for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
