“Butterplätzchen” translate to little butter Christmas cookies, a German classic made with only 5 ingredients. They are less sweet than sugar cookies and the high butter content gives them their typical irresistible melt in your mouth consistency. Enjoy them lightly golden brown and plain or decorated with a simple lemon glaze and colourful sprinkles!
“Vanillekipferl” are delicate and buttery German Christmas Cookies made with ground almonds, dusted in vanilla- scented icing sugar and shaped into little “Kipferl” which translates to “crescent” or “croissant” in English. They are easy to make and a must have cookie for your selection of homemade Christmas cookies!
“Lebkuchen” are like the German version of gingerbread and a very popular treat during Christmas time. “Elisenlebkuchen” are soft and chewy, filled with all the goodness of nuts, candied citrus and warm spices. They are baked on thin, flavourless, edible wafer paper called “Oblaten”, covered in dark chocolate and decorated with almonds.

“Bratäpfel” are tart baked apples, filled with a sweet marzipan apricot filling, topped with lightly roasted almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This is one of my favourite warm and comforting desserts to make for the cold and dark season of the year.
