The third Advent-sunday is just around the corner, and therefore it’s finally time for some Christmas spirit! And what would be more suitable than baking delicious cookies?! Below you can find my all time favorites: Linzer Augen (short pastry filled with jam), Kürbiskernkipferl (pumpkin seed crescents), Zitronen-Kokosbusserl (lemon coconut macaroon) and Marzipankugerl (marzipan bead). Enjoy!

Zitronen-Kokosbusserl

4 egg white, 150g sugar, 65g curd, 200g shredded coconut, 5 tsp lemon juice

Whip the egg whites together with the sugar, afterwards mix with the other ingredients. Drop the batter onto sheet pans and bake at 160 degrees for approx. 20 minutes.

 

 

Marzipankugerl

500g marzipan, 350g powdered sugar, 20g rum; shredded coconut for rolling

Mix all ingredients together and shape small beads. Roll the beads in grated coconut. You can easily modify this recipe by using different liquids or marmalades instead of rum.
