Baking biscuits: More than 150 recipes for your Christmas cookies
Baking cookies for every taste
The spirits are different when it comes to Christmas cookies: Some people want to bake the classics every year and can not imagine a Christmas without gingerbread, vanilla toppings, macaroons, speculaas, gingerbread and more. The others tend to bake cookies for a change and experiment every year with a new cookie recipe. Those want to bake with their children and are therefore looking for recipes for fast, simple Christmas cookies, the others love to decorate their cookies for hours consuming? and can not use clumsy baking assistants.
Cookies bake without stress
Some bake their favorites year after year and then look forward like little children to cinnamon stars, Christmas stollen and almond biscuits, others find nothing more exciting than equipping the biscuit plate every year with new, exciting creations.
No wonder that cookie baking is a treat for many people. Too fast to take over in choosing the recipes that you want to implement this year? and realizes that the cozy Christmas bakery has become more of a sporting challenge. That's why it says: select carefully before.
That's how your Christmas cookies will be guaranteed
For the fun of baking cookies in the foreground, we recommend: Less is more! Think carefully about which Christmas cookies you want to put on the cookie plate this year, and rely on a healthy mix of new, experimental recipes and the time-tested classics that you know will succeed. If you can use a dough for several varieties, put the selected varieties of your Christmas cookies into small groups.
After all, if you're smart, try baking as many different kinds as possible from a single dough. Many basic recipes are actually so similar that you can conjure up a lot of different cookies with a single short crust pastry that you can easily vary. This also saves money when shopping, because the grocery list for Christmas cookies is growing rapidly. If you concentrate on Christmas cookies with a similar dough, you only need a few additional ingredients.
Baking cookies with children? it's really fun
And: Think about whether you would rather pay attention to the decoration of your Christmas cookies, or whether you would rather try exciting new varieties. Both will certainly be too much. A simple shortcrust pastry with an elaborate decoration can make as much impression on the Christmas cookies as our extravagant mocha meringue polka dots. And even if you cook cookies with children, it means anyway: the simpler, the better.
Children do not want cardamom cinnamon printen, fruit bread and Basel stripes? even if we still like her so much! ? They want to knead with the dough so really nice to glue the fingers, munching around in the flour, secretly nibble the dough from the Rührstäben, cut out Christmas cookies and then make a huge mess with colorful sprinkles, couverture and bright colors. Here, of course, the baking itself as an event in the foreground. And when the little Christmas bakers then see their homemade cookies on the coffee table, they will almost burst with pride. And you will know: that was worth all the effort!
In our big photo show on Christmas cookies everyone will find the right recipe, and the inspiring photos will make you really want to bake: Vanillekipferl and coconut macaroons on Christmas stollen and biscuit biscuits to speculoos everything is included. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a beautiful pre-Christmas time!
