    • 🍪 German Christmas Cookies Recipes
    • 💬 Comments

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

    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!

      These cookies all look so delicious and tasty! I’ve never tried German cookies before but I am excited to try to them sometime. I have cousins that live in Germany, maybe I can get them to send me some. 🤔

      I love all things German - being super German myself 🙂 I will have to try some of these!! One of my favorites to make at Christmas are the almond crescents (I think you have a similar recipe called vanilla crescents!)
