How To Bake Traditional German Christmas Cookies | Easy Christmas Cookie Recipe
Baking cookies is one of the most popular Christmas traditions in Germany and other European countries. The ritual of baking during Advent dates back to the Middle Ages, when spices from the Orient found their way to Europe. In Austria especially, people developed many different types of tasty cookies in the 19th century, such as the famous “Vanillekipferl” or the well-known “Spitzbuben”.
To this day, the ritual of baking cookies together at Christmas time has remained. The top selling German Christmas-related products are cookie cutters, vanilla crescents and cinnamon stars.
We invited Susi Carreira and Katja Stieber who run a baking blog called “Küchen-Miezen” to teach you how to make the classic German “Plätzchen”.

Directions
Combine the flours, ground almonds, baking soda, salt, Lebkuchengewürz, white pepper, lemon peel, and orange peel in a bowl.
Combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and milk in a saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Thoroughly mix the egg into the dough.
Refrigerate the dough until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop balls of dough using a 1-teaspoon cookie scoop.
Bake the Pfeffernusse for 12 minutes.
Allow the Pfeffernusse to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet.
Combine powdered sugar with hot water to create a glaze. Less water makes a thicker, whiter glaze.
