This year's Christmas cookies


  1. Andrea's Schokomakronen (recipe here: http://drgerg-food.blogspot.ch/2010/11/bunch-of-christmas-cookies.html)
  2. Zimtsterne (from Kaltenbach, recipe here: http://drgerg-food.blogspot.ch/2010/11/bunch-of-christmas-cookies.html . I, once again, forgot to reserve any egg whites to top them with)
  3. Basler Brunsli (from Kaltenbach)
  4. Honig Lebkuchen (from Kaltenbach)
They all turned out well; the Lebkuchen were a real surprise and should definitely be made again.
