This year's Christmas cookies

Here's what we did this year:

  • Zimtsterne (from Kaltenbach)
  • Totenbeinli (recipe here: http://drgerg-food.blogspot.ch/2010/11/bunch-of-christmas-cookies.html)
  • Honig Lebkuchen (from Kaltenbach)
  • Pains d'Amande (A food52 genius recipe: https://food52.com/recipes/15349-flo-braker-s-pains-d-amande)
  • Pepper and Cumin cookies (from the NYT cookbook, but here's the online version: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1088-pepper-cumin-cookies)


The last two are new for us. The almond cookies turned out ok, but the pepper and cumin cookies are really exceptional.

Some notes for next year:
  • Putting a pinch or two of salt in the Lebkuchen would probably be good.
  • More cinnamon in the Zimtsterne!
