Recipes

Occasionally, I will share a favorite recipe here.

The first is a recipe for Vanille Kipferl, a yummy German cookie. I share it in honor of St. Boniface, on his feast day, 5 June.

Sorry, but the ingredients list is in the metric system. You can find ways to convert it if you Google. I just use a kitchen scale.

525 grams butter
750 grams flour
250 grams ground hazelnuts
250 grams sugar
3 egg yolks

Vanilla Sugar (you can buy packets of this where you find international/German foods, or you can put a cup or 2 of sugar into a container and throw in a couple of sticks of vanilla and let is sit for a week or two)

Make the above ingredients into a dough
form into little ropes and then make them into little crescent shapes
place on a cookies sheet and bake at about 350 degrees F (my MIL told me a “slow” oven, so 325 might work, too)
Bake until set and slightly browned on the edges.

Remove from oven, cool for a minute or 2 and roll in vanilla sugar. Optionally, you can roll them in the vanilla sugar again after they are cooled completely.

Enjoy!
