Hi Mummy,
we baked christmas cookies today! We made farmer's little hats (Bauernhuetchen).



You need
250 g flour
125 g sugar
150 g butter
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon sour cream

for the filling:
2 egg-white
80 g sugar
125 g ground almonds

coarse sugar for dredging



First we had to knead the ingredients to a smooth dough and put it into the fridge for an hour.



For the filling we had to stirr the egg-whites, add sugar and ground almonds.





We than took the dough out of the fridge and rolled it onto the working space. Now we had to cut out round cookies.



Katja helped us to put some of the filling onto our dough circles and to put them into the right shape.





We put the cookies onto a baking tray. They now had to be brushed with egg-white and dredged with coarse sugar. Than they were put into the oven for about 20 minutes.

When we took them out of the oven there was only one cookie that looked exactly like those in our book.



I'm afraid we put too much of the filling into the cookies. In the oven they lost their shape.



But that's  not so bad, they taste delicious anyway.

Bye
Thiele
