Despite having lived in New Zealand for over 20 years now, one (German) Christmas tradition our Aesthetikonzept Founder & CEO, Claudia keeps up without fail, is baking an assortment of traditional, German Christmas cookies. Here she shares one of the classic, no fail recipes...
Claudia's Recipe For 'Engelsaugen' - "Angel Eyes"
Makes approx. 40-45 cookies
Ingredients:
Method:
Mix all ingredients apart from the jam and decorative icing sugar by hand, or with a mixer, until it forms a smooth dough.
Pop dough into the fridge and leave to cool for 1-2 hours.
Line a baking tray with baking paper & preheat the often to 200 Degrees Celsius (180 if fan bake).
Form small balls from the dough (approx. 3-4cm diameter) and pop them onto the baking tray. Dunk the back of a wooden spoon first in flour and then indent each ball (careful not to pierce them completely!)
Mix the jam so that it becomes smooth and the same consistency throughout. Using a piping bag or a teaspoon, fill the jam into the indents of the dough balls.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until just cooked: they should not become too dark/golden.
Leave to cool and dust with the decorative icing sugar.
Enjoy with a cuppa & good friend!
While waiting for the dough to cool, you may like to chill out from some of the end of year madness too...
