Mmmmh…. Weihnachtsplätzchen. Christmas cookies are probably one of my favourite things about the Christmas season.
The easiest and most classic German Xmas cookies are called “Butterplätzchen”. They are the ones that you can decorate the way you want. Here’s an easy recipe for you.
You need:
150g - 200g butter; 100g - 150g sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla sugar
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
1 egg
300g flour
Mix the butter, the vanilla sugar and the sugar; then add the grated lemon and egg. Lastly add the flour - mix well. It’s best to cool the dough in the fridge for a couple of hours because that makes cutting out the cookies easier.
Prepare two baking trays with baking paper and preheat the oven (180°C; ) Roll out the dough - and have some nice cookie cutters ready. ;) Bake the cookies for about 15mins until they’re golden brown. Let them cool before you decorate them. :)
