German Pastry Series – Week 1 (03/05/22)

Week 1 – Cookies:

• Linzer Cookies
  • Linzer tarts are a sandwich cookie version, topped with a layer of dough with a characteristic circle shaped cut-out exposing the fruit preserves, and dusted with confectioner’s sugar.
• Vannillekipferl
  • Vanillekipferl are crescent-shaped cookies baked traditionally at Christmas time. They are shaped by hand. Once baked and still warm, they are coated in powdered sugar and/or vanilla sugar.
• Coconut Marzipan Macaroons 
  • Macaroons (Makronen) are a loved and classic Christmas cookie in Germany. Not only are they delicious, moist, and chewy, but they are also so easy and quick to make. They’re also economical. Making a quick batch of macaroons is a great way to use up the left-over egg whites. Traditionally, makronen cookies are baked on wafers (Oblaten).
