German Christmas Cookie Recipes

Here is one of my easy cookie recipes for German Nürnberger Busserl.

These German spice cookies have to be stored well in an airtight tin, but will keep for about 8 weeks.

Bake a big batch of these easy cookies for Advent and you will always have cookies to hand if unexpected guests arrive.

German Nuernberger Busserl

4 dessert spoons honey
470g sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 dessert spoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cardamom
70g candied lemon peel, finely chopped
60g candied orange peel, finely chopped
70g walnuts, roughly chopped
60g almonds, finely ground
500g flour
1 tsp baking powder

Warm the honey in a bowl and add the eggs. Beat until foamy.

Add all the other ingredients, mix well and knead the dough thoroughly.

Cover the bowl and leave at room temperature for a day.

Grease a baking tray and spinkle with flour. Form cherry sized balls from the mixture and place on the baking tray. Bake in the middle of the oven at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes.

Enjoy my German spice cookie recipe.
