These are one of the most liked cookies in my family (and in-law family and friends). Very fun to make, also with kids, because of all the cutting out! Another plus: they go real fast!

These are really yummy Christmas cookies (originally from Austria, I think). The traditionally crescent-shaped cookies have a great almond taste and just melt in your mouth. Mmhhhh!

Coconut Macaroons (Christmas Cookies)

Here is the third Christmas cookie recipe. It’s a good idea to make these at the same time as the «love dimples», because of the amount of egg whites you need (to not waste anything). They make a nice mix in the cookie bowl.

Liebesgrübchen or «love dimples» (German Christmas Cookies)

Number two of my all-time favorite Christmas cookies, also because I just think the name is so adorable: the translation of the cookie name is «love dimples», but I think you call them thumbprint cookies in English. Another family recipe…

Slowly but steadily I am getting in the mood for the holiday festive season. Not sure why, but every single year, there is so much to do before Christmas before you can actually enjoy all the Christmas goodies that come along with it. To get you prepared, I will post one traditional (at least in my family) German Christmas cookie recipe the next few days. Hope you like them! This first recipe is from my lovely mother-in-law! And the approximate translation of the cookie name is «heath sand». They are traditional German browned butter Shortbread cookies and are just mouth-watering delicious.
