On this occasion I bring you some German Christmas cookies that are very special to me because they are the first ones I do with a recipe from my mother -in -law Ulla. She is German and, from a very young age, every Christmas she baked in her house Emweihnachtsplätzen / Em, Christmas cookies. It is one of the most entrenched traditions in Germany, preparing homemade Christmas cookies. They are the main sweet of the parties, there are very varied and each family also has their own recipes or tricks. It is a beautiful tradition. The family gathers and bakes cookies. Children have a great time and recipes go from generation to generation. My mother -in -law prepares them every year with the granddaughters. We are far away and when we arrive to celebrate Christmas Eve (Emweihnachten/EM), they are already prepared. As I say, my mother -in -law prepares many different types and they have incredible. Precious and delicious. I really wanted to prepare some and adapt it to me, without sugar. From his recipe notebook, he sent me several and these are the first I have done. I loved preparing them. I just hope to do them with her, together in her kitchen or mine, someday. Go for you, Mutti.

Ingredients to make German Christmas hazelnut cookies step by step:
1. Beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a whitish and foamy mixture.
2. Add the ground almond and hazelnut and mix well until you get a homogeneous dough.
3. We make a ball and put it on a kneader surface to continue with the elaboration of German Christmas cookies.
4. We stretch the dough with a roller until you get a thickness between 0.5 and 1 cm.
5. We cut the cookies with the molds that we like. I used some little ones with various Christmas forms. These German hazelnut cookies are usually tiny, such as a bite, pastit type, not large cookies.
Trick: We preheat the oven at 130 ºC.
6. When we have the cookies ready we place them on a vegetable paper baked tray and bake at 130 ºC until golden brown to our liking, about 20 minutes.
7. When we are ready we take them out and let them cool on a rack.
8. When they have cooled at all, we prepare the glaze mixing all the ingredients for it and adding a few drops of the desired dye. The amounts that I have put in the list of ingredients are the one I used for each color. The glaze should be fluid so that we can extend it well on the German Christmas cookies of hazelnut.
9. We decorate the cookies. When we have them all, let them dry until the glaze is hard and totally dry. If you look, the glaze, which was perfect as soon as it puts it, there has been some whitish. This is for the sweetener. With sugar it will not happen to you and the German Christmas cookies will be perfect. In any case they were delicious, which is the important thing. I did half of the amount I put in the ingredients and left many. In a can they keep great so that they last every Christmas …, or not, heh, heh.
10. Do not stop trying these German Christmas hazelnut cookies, they are very good. And they are so beautiful that they will not go unnoticed. They are an insured success, which together with the traditional chocolate nougat and more types of cookies, such as spicy cookies, will form an incredible sweet table.
