So the christmas cookie season is on. My fears that they would go off/ soggy/dry out/or just go bad in the waiting evaporated at first bite. I think I made enough. After refilling the tin a good few times there must still be more than 1/3 left. As delicious and moreish as they are, I'm not sure i can look at another one for a while. I stored each batch separately and filled a big tin on Christmas Eve. The Berliner Brot just got better, soft and chewy in the right places. The Lebküchen, dunked in a panic when they emerged rock hard from the oven, now ditto, jam packed with flavour - special thanks to the mixed home-candied peel and mystery spice mix from the marketplace in Bonn. I think they are the surprise favourites! Can I remember the recipe? of course not. Grrrr. I will keep looking. The Pepperkaker close next favourites with fresh ground cardamom, nutmeg and pepper. The Coconut Macaroons have been disappearing fast too! More next time please.
