The Internet is full of precious, delicious cookies, and German Christmas Cookies top the list as some of the most coveted cookies during Christmastime.

German cookies are traditionally made in most houses during Advent time.

Advent is the time, 4 Sundays before Christmas, where we tend to focus on a more quite merry period of the year.

It's like a meditation where we bake and prepare treats for our family and friends.

You might know some German Christmas cookies without having known that they are actually German because they have become popular all over the world.

Below you will find a list of german cookies and most are classics such as Lebkuchen, Pfeffernüsse and Zimtsterne.

The cookies are often while gluten-free due to the use of almond flour but they are rarely vegan because eggs and butter are commonly used in german food.

I count German and Austrian Cookies together because most cookies between these two countries are a hit across the border.

Happy Baking!
