I
absolutely loved experimenting
foreign recipes, especially
dessert recipes, when I was in
high school. One of my favorite
recipes to make is German Cookies.
I first learned of it after I'd
tried a recipe for German Crumble
Cake.
Today
it's the second most common
dessert I make. The cookies
themselves aren't really sweet
(unless I've been making them
wrong all this time), but
sweetness has never been a
"must-have" factor for me when it
comes to a dessert recipe. And you
can always experiment by placing
icing on the cookies or adding
more sugar.
German Cookies is also a real
'hands on' recipe that contains a
hefty bit of butter. Hope you
enjoy!
German Cookies
4 cups of flour
3/4 cups of sugar
2 sticks of butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
Take a sifter, a rolling pin, a
baking board, and cookie cutters
(optional). Sift the flour onto
the baking board. Make a dent in
the middle of the flour.
Pour the Vanilla Extract onto the
flour and sprinkle sugar on top.
Cut the butter into small pieces
and scatter them on the flour.
Crack the eggs and pour the yolks
into the dent.
Mix all ingredients by hand, and
smooth the dough flat about a half
centimeter thick with the rolling
pin. Engrave the dough with cookie
cutters or roll and flatten into
circle shapes.
Grease a cookie sheet and place
cookie dough shapes on top. Put
the oven on 350 degrees Fahrenheit
(ovens may vary) and back for 10
minutes or until golden brown.
Let them cool. Any leftovers
should be kept covered so they
will last.
And there you have it! You've just
made delicious German Cookies!
