- COSY CHRISTMAS BAKING: 3 OF THE MOST POPULAR CHRISTMAS BISCUITS IN GERMANY// Good evening, We received some questions whether we would bake again during the festive season and oh yes, of course! This time we share 3 very popular Christmas biscuits (Weihnachtsplätzchen) with you: Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescents), Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) and Linzer Plätzchen. All of them very easy to make and simply part of a German Christmas. Hope you will enjoy. Kirsten & Joerg x

RECIPE 'VANILLEKIPFERL:
Ingredients
140g ground almonds
210g soft butter
280g flour
2 egg yolks
40g sugar
pinch of salt
about 100g icing sugar
4 sachets Vanillinzucker
Method
Kneat the ground almonds, butter, flour, egg yolks, sugar and salt. Create 3-4 rolls (diameter about 3-4cm). Put into cling film and cool in fridge for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Cut the rolls into slices of about 1cm. Create 'Kipferl' and put onto baking tray with baking paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Take Kipferl out of the oven.
Mix icing sugar with Vanillinzucker and batter the Kipferl in the mixture while they are still hot. Enjoy!
RECIPE 'LINZER PLÄTZCHEN':
Ingredients
300g flour
100g ground almonds
120g icing sugar
1 vanilla pod
pinch of salt
200g soft butter
2-3 egg yolks (depending on the size of your eggs)
100g raspberry jelly or jam
2 tbsp icing sugar
Method
Kneat the ingredients for the dough. Put the dough into the fridge for about 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Roll out your dough to about 4 mm. Using Linzer cookie cutters, cut an even number of bottoms and tops. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Let the biscuits cool. Warm up the jam or jelly and spread onto the bottom half of the cooled biscuits. Dust the tops of the biscuits with icing sugar and put them on top of the jam coated biscuit. Enjoy!
RECIPE 'ZIMTSTERNE'
Ingredients
2 egg whites
100g fine icing sugar
350 ground almonds
3-4 tsp ground cinnamon
For the icing
1 egg white
100 very fine icing sugar
Method
Beat the egg whites half way. Add the icing sugar and keep on beating until stiff. Add the almonds and cinnamon and mix well. Wrap the batter in cling film and put into the fridge (at least for 2 hours, even better overnight).
Sprinkle some ground almonds onto your worktop. Roll out your dough (1 cm thick) and use a star cookie cutter. Make sure to tip the cookie cutter into cold water in between as the batter is very sticky.
Put onto a baking tray that is lined with baking paper. For the icing beat the egg white and add the fine icing sugar towards the until and then beat until stiff.
Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius. Use a baking brush to brush the top of the Zimtsterne with the icing. Bake the Zimtsterne for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!

I say it often and I'm going to say it again! You two just make me happy! 💝
This is the best compliment ever, thanks so so much!
@@Silverladybird perfect description! They are the couple you hope lives next door! ☺
Me too 😀
I agree with you! They are the couple we all wish we could be.❤
Even in the kitchen you look elegant 🎀today we discovered chef kirsten 😊👍i'm sure the biscuits are delicious because they are kirsten's home made 😊👌👍👏
Thank you so much!
Brings back memories of my Austrian grandma's christmas cookies, she made all of these, but my favorite was her strudel, she passed in the 70's so it has been many years since I enjoyed them. But I still remember them, she was an amazing baker, and such a good grandma, miss her.
These memories will stay with your forever! And I can so relate, Strudel is so so good. Wishing you a wonderful weekend Nancy.
My grandparents came to the US in 1906. Both my grandmother and mother baked a lot at Christmas. One of my favorite cookies was kipferl. Thanks for the memories.
Oh yes, Kipferl are always so good and really so easy to make!
Where were they from, Mark? My favourite are the Kipferl, too.
@@LaureninGermany a small German village in Romania called Zaderlach, it is close to Arad. They were ‘Donauschwaben’, Germans who settled there in 1737.
I could smell the lovely scent of Christmas baking in my mind. They all looked delightful and delicious. That was a lot of work too.
Oh yes, the kitchen smelled so good!
I'm getting ready to make cookies using a 19th century 8" angel cookie cutter my family has had. Since I have no experience I've been on yt for recipes, decorating, tips, etc. A couple of tips I will pass on: use that plastic wrap on top and under the dough when you are rolling it out then you won't have to use flour. Try rolling the stars out a little thinner, then squeeze the cutter which will release the dough. I really enjoyed your video, as always!
Wow that sounds so special! Do you have a social media page to show us the result?
Oh wow that cookie cutter sounds very very special.
Baking! That means one of my favorite things, watching Joerg eat! 😀
Hahah yes - he loves to try everything!
All those cookies look delicious. The ones with the jam and little heart are very beautiful. Your kitchen must smell wonderful.
Your Christmas wreath is very beautiful too.
Thanks so much!
Wow! Thank you, Kirsten & Joerg, for this wonderful baking episode! The first batch resembles a kind of almond shortbread - YUM! The second batch, with the raspberry filling, looked amazing too! But, the cinnamon star cookies were my favourite because there was no flour in the recipe, much like Christmas macarons. I can't wait to get into the kitchen to bake these lovely holiday treats. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!
I like to make the crescent shaped cookies, we always called them Viennese Crescents. They really melt in your mouth. I love Linzer tarts too, thank you for the recipe! Enjoyed this peaceful cozy baking episode. Merry Christmas!
I went ahead and reheated my leftovers before I hit the play button because I knew hunger would come with the episode, lol. Looks wonderful!
Those looked delicious! I so enjoy watching you both. You’re a lovely couple who love one another. So beautiful to see. Mary
Thanks so much!
Vous êtes devenus une drogue pour moi.
Une vidéo le soir pour me détendre , et une le matin au réveil pour attaquer la journée.
Merci à vous deux d'exister.
Vous êtes un couple génial .
J'attends avec impatience vos vidéos.
Je vous souhaite le meilleur, et prenez bien soin de vous.
A très vite. 💝
Hi Kristen and Jurg it is always so nice to see you working together. And even it took you almost the hole day to bake there is nothing more better then homemade kooking and baking. Maby i am going to make the first one. Greetings 🌷🇳🇱
They all look wonderful and I will definitely be baking the Vanillekipferl and Linzer Platzchen, which remind me very much of our British Jammy Dodgers!! Don't you just love the smell of Christmas baking. I will also be making Mary Berry's Mincemeat loaf, which is so yummy and lasts about a day in my house!
Joerg makes me laugh. He is such a sweet tooth!!😄
Joerg is so supporting and helpful in the kitchen..you both make a great team.
Im not sure how many of those biscuits would have made it to the office with Joerg around :))) Will definitely make those jam ones because I have just made a spiced blood orange marmalade and those biscuits look like the perfect way to use it. PS: your Christmas wreath is beautiful I love it.
Great idea, l am marmalade obsessed 😄 l think it would make the cookies less sweet. 👍happy Christmas x
Love the pinny...you look so classy Kirsten .
Your presentation of everything u do is just so inspiring .
Thankyou. Both
Everything looks so delicious! Your voice is so soothing Kirsten! Love your videos!
Always enjoy your in the kitchen videos. I give it five stars and wanted to taste all of them. A well earned rest for lovely baking team.
Thanks so much!
Funny how so many countries have some of the same recipes. We call your first cookies Crescents. One of my favorites.
Yes, Vanillekipferl is just the German word for it.
Yummy buttery Christmas cookies! A cup of tea would be a great accompaniment .
Absolutely, we enjoyed a tea once we finished filming and had a lovely break.
Oh I love Linzer cookies. My MIL worked in a German Bakery here in Canada & brought me a whole box full to the hospital when I had my first daughter. I also love stollen.
The biscuits look amazing and I love the Linzer cutters with the fancy two part cutters. When it says Raspberry Jelly, I’d say it’s perhaps written by American Germans! They describe jam as jelly!! So you were perfectly correct in using raspberry jam. I’ve been making handmade chocolates all week and tomorrow I make a birthday cake for my 11 year old nephew who loves Sloths at the moment…so Sloth cake it is!!
Oh I had to smile when I read Sloth cake - hope your nephew has the best birthday.
Lol my son had a Sloth phase at about that age too!
Oh, I would love that sloth cake too. The sloth is my spirit animal . . . lol.
I think most germans would use jelly for those, at least I do.
But Jam works fine, too.
I'm American and we distinguish between jelly (no fruit bits) and jam (with seeds and fruit bits).
Lovely Christmas vlog! I have fond memories of making Christmas cookies with my mother. I was an adult the first time I had a Linzer tart. Such a beautiful cookie! Absolutely delicious. Thank you for letting us join you in the kitchen and for the recipes! Merry Christmas!
You two are a great team in the kitchen and I Iove your selection of cookies: Vanillekipferl, Linzer and Zimtsterne. Can't decide which are my favorite, I guess I love them all. 😁 Thank you for providing us with the recipes. 😊
Thanks so much! Vanillekipferl are simply always so good and the Linzer Plätzchen turned out so great too.
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg, all the biscuits looked lovely, I bet your kitchen smelt lovely, I love the smell of cinnamon. Your nails always look lovely Kirsten. Enjoy your weekend xx
Wonderful. Nothing says home like the smell of baking biscuits!
The first cookies you made my mom makes them she got the recipe from my cousins grandmother who was German but they called them almond crescents and dusted them with icing sugar and they are delicious the second cookies ohh we love them too. Have had the cinnamon stars need to try! Thank you for sharing! 🎄☃️🌲🎁
Another thing I like about you is your attachment to your families and going back to childhood memories whenever possible .And Christmas is the time when these memories come back forcefully ! Thanks for the cakes ! Delicious,indeed !
Your cookies all looked delicious, but I think you made Zimt supernovas! A cozy day in, but it is a lot of work - I'm not surprised you were both tired. Thank you for the holiday cheer. Have a fantastic weekend! 🎄🧑🎄😊💕
Hahah indeed we did! It was a lot of work with the filming but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks so much and wishing you a lovely weekend as well.x
Wie immer ganz bezaubernd, Deine Art zu sprechen liebe Kerstin und das ihr zwei alles mögliche gemeinsam macht, finde ich einfach wundervoll.
Ich wünsche Euch, das das nie vergeht und ihr bis ins hohe Alter so süss zusammen seit
Vielen lieben Dank!
This is fantastic!! It's the middle of July 2023, a nippy frosty winter in New Zealand. And here you are on You Tube, making and baking German Christmas treats. Too gorgeous, and for me, just right. Thank you
I like the way you listen to one another,don't presume what will be said and react happily to one another.Wonderful.
Such an astute observation, and so true. And indeed the hallmark of a happy, stable and solid relationship :)
What a fun coincidence 😊 I'm making Iced Snowman Sugar Cookies today. ☃️⛄ You're home must smell amazing. Enjoy xx
These look so delicious and I’m about to go grocery shopping. A dangerous time to be in the bakery🤣 How freaking cute are those plump little egg yolks. 🥚🐔
Hahah thank you!
Hello Kirsten and Joerg oh how delicious those biscuits look ,so lovely .I love to watch you bake as you always make me feel so relaxed and the end results are always so good .I'm not a person for too many over laden sickly sweet things so they would be brilliant for me , thank you for sharing.Joerg looks so happy when delicious things come out of that oven ,and his face is a joy to behold ! I love to bake for my husband because he is like Joerg , appreciative . When you're baking a lot it is tiring but I think that the results are so worth it .My daughter and son-in-law visiting tomorrow, and the first thing my son-in-law asked me is what cake we had in ....it must be a man thing .Have a blessed weekend , see you both next time .God bless xx ❤
Thank you so much Barbara! Wishing you a lovely day with your daughter and son-in-law.
You two are so cute . Love this channel .it's very cosy and relaxing 😌
Thanks so much!
I make these crescent cookies with pecans...we call them Kipfel....our family came to the US from Germany before 1900.
Grandma also made kuchen, lots of baked goods 🙂.
I am so excited!! My mother made these cookies when i was young...i have never made them before...didnt know how because i lost her when i was only eight years old...how suprised i am to see these after all these years.I'm in my 60's
Thank you so much!!!
Those little half moon biscuits - the Kipferl are my favourites ❤️ I have a friend in Germany who lives between there and Switzerland and she bakes and then sends them to me every Christmas
Thank you for the queen recipe now I can bake my own 🎄🌺
My favorite cookie (biscuit) is Almond Crescents dusted with icing sugar mixed with teaspoon of cinnamon! I first had them at my piano recital in kindergarten and rediscovered the recipe when older and was so excited to be able to make my favorite Christmas cookie!🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
Thank you so much Kirsten andcJoeŕg for the most beautiful tour. Gosh some of those Castles are so grand and so beautiful. I was born in the wrong timing...love your tours and visits with your shares so much.thank you and my dears...have the Merriest Christmas ever...you so deserve the best....Carolyn and Colin Canada....
Thanks for making the video guys, that was very sweet of you! Especially to do that on your weekend! So calming to watch in this world of turbulence.
The cookies look delicious!!!! ❄️🎄😁👍🏻
Thanks so much!
What a beautiful kitchen and so cozy and warm. My grandma was German and those cookies give me so many special memories. Very delicious. I would make the one like a half moon. Such a heart warming and delicious viewing. Thank you. Happy Holidays. 🎄⛄🎄 🇺🇸
Everything looks delicious. I'm going try all three recipes. The stars look great. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas and love from Texas 🎅🤶❤🤠
I love watching you bake cookies together.💖💖
Thanks so much!
My mom baked these same biscuits every Christmas. I enjoy them all but especially the Vanillekipferle. They are so tasty with a cup of tea. Your video may have inspired me to bake a small batch🎄 Joerg's work colleagues are very fortunate to be the beneficiaries of your baking!
Yum!!! I am sure all of Joerg's co-workers appreciated the lovely treats... I know I would! Thank you for sharing.. more recipes to add to my Kirsten & Joerg book
Hi from Brazil! I'll try these recipes, they look delicious. I have a tip for you, if you don´t mind, put the vanilla pod into a sugar jar, and let it sit for a while... you´ll have amazing vanilla sugar. Merry Christmas!!
Thanks so much! Absolutely, it's why we mention it in the video that you can easily make vanilla sugar using vanilla pod and sugar.
Vielen Dank, Kirsten and Joerg! You inspire me to make some cookies for my Tante Herta who is 99yrs old, and lives in New Jersey, while I'm near Chicago. I think there is still time that I can send her a Christmas surprise! My favorite cookies are Pfeffernusse.
I once read a meme that read: “A Plätzchen a day keeps the Doktor away”! I love all three cookies, particularly the Vanillakipferl and the Linzer Cookies! Last year on her Christmas show,, Nigella made some Linzer Cookies with two different jams❤️. Nice videos as always, Frohe Weihnachten and Happy Christmas 🎄! Greetings from Santa Monica, CA!
Hahah I love it! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you too!
I'm going to make these cookies for my neighbour who is German and living in the USA for 60 plus years.
We LOVE your Baking/Cooking Videos.
My favorite are "Hilda bredle" "Butter Bredle" and "Linzer torte". Thank you for this cosy moment.
Perfect timing. We are having a big winter storm today (the kind you don't want to go out in), so I decided to bake all three. And we've had a lovely tea
party. Cheers! 🌟
Love you both- such a joy- look forward to each video
Those cookies looked so so yummy , thank you too the both of you for sharing your baking tasting day.
Lovely biscuits…baking Christmas biscuits always makes the kitchen & home cozy…love your Christmas biscuit plates also
Great video. Thank you for introducing me to My Merry Messy Life. I just finished watching her make Christmas cookies. She is the most beautifully patient mother. 💕 Happy New Year!
Kirsten, you and Joerg always do everything so nicely. The cookies look delicious.
These bisquits all looked so yummy! Joerg's office mates must love him!!
You guys are the most adorable couple I’ve ever come across ❤️
That's so kind, thank you!
All of the treats that you have made look so delicious. I also love your Christmas wreath. Have lovely evening.
Thanks so much Susen!
That was lovely. I feel like baking something now. I’ve gotten the Stem Ginger cookie down. Thank you for being so dear. ❤️🎄
I made some coconut biscuits today with a cherry on top as well I always enjoy your cooking videos I will try some of your recipe's thank you 💜💜
That sounds so good - enjoy your yummy biscuits and thanks so much for watching.
Your cookies look delicious 😋. You have inspired me to bake some Christmas goodies. Merry Christmas from Texas USA.
Thanks so much and Merry Christmas from us.
It is just not a Happy Christmas without your videos. I will rewatch all your Christmas videos (old and new)on Christmas Day.
My you both have a very lovely Christmas and the very Best New year. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. God Bless you both.
Thank you so much Rita! Merry Christmas to you too.x
Great baking and awesome presentation. Your cookies looks delicious 😋 and yummy.
You guys make my Heart Smile. You starve me in all your adventures. when you share what you are eating. I love all the different foods you share during your travels. I enjoyed all the German Sweets in this Video. Thanks for sharing the recipes. Merry CHRISTmas and Blessings from Ky
Love your baking videos x
That's so kind!
Love all the beautiful treats you made.. memories of my Oma’s cookies Vanillekipferl.. and love the Linzer and the cutouts too.. I’m baking today as well!! Thank you Kirsten and Joerg!! 🎄🎄❤️❤️
Oh yes, Vanillekipferl, everyone simply loves them. Love that you're baking today as well. Are you making Christmas biscuits or cake?
I made chocolate pretzel shaped cookies and dipped the tops in melted chocolate.. and I made German honey cookies! Tomorrow will be making Molasses Crinkles and an apple cake!! It’s take out for supper tomorrow night!! 😉😅❤️🎄
Lovely. I've only had these as prepackaged treats. It was nice to see them made from scratch. As a hint, if you add a quarter teaspoon of allspice to cinnamon, it enhances cinnamon flavor. Happy Christmas and may you have a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year.
All those German Xmas biscuits and sweet treats looks delicious.
Wishing u both a lovely happy Christmas, from Salisbury Wiltshire England xx
Thanks so much - Merry Christmas Jenny.
Christmas-cookie-kitchens are the best.
Looks absolutely delicious. Your kitchin looks so inviting with the decorations it makes you want to spend time and bake. Those lovely biscuits would make a lovely gift .
I need to find a vegetarian egg free version of this, I loveeeeeeeeeee cookies around the holidays especially. 🍪 🎄
Oh, Kirsten, each recipe came out wonderfully. Bakers are self critical. The perfection of home baking is exactly centered on the word “home.” Thank you for the time and effort you put into this video for us. You two are true gems.
Thanks so much!
Какие же вы классные, уважаете друг друга. Печенье супер! 🍪🍪🍪🍪
Oh, my!!! You are making me hungry for your delicious looking cookies!!! MMM!!!!
Получилось прекрасно ! Аппетитно выглядит, очень приятно смотреть, что вы дружно вместе что то делаете
Sweetly inspired me! Thank you for this cosy and traditional day of Christmas baking. So warm and inviting! 😋💗🤩🤶🏻🎅🏼
I will have to try some of these recipes, they look scrumptious
Love your recipes and watching you cook together. Merry Christmas to you!!
What pretty hands you have Kirsten , ideal for demonstrating biscuits making and the biscuits looked very tempting indeed..Blessings from South Africa.🇿🇦
Grüße aus Brasilien...bin fan von alle eure vídeos.
Das ist so lieb, tausend Dank!
Every Christmas, my Mom made a regular sugar cookie dough that I could cut into many shapes and decorate myself, but the traditional German cookies were always made as well. The Vanillekipferl we called "Vanilla Horns", she also made the Linzer cookies (some were half-dipped in melted dark chocolate), and then she made the German "thumbprint cookies"... very buttery, round cookies with a thumbprint (we used a clean thimble to make the hole) in the middle and filled with strawberry or raspberry jam and dusted with icing sugar when they cooled. Mom called those cookies "cholesterol bombs" because they were made with so much butter! I miss her holiday baking!
The cookies look delicious. I have tried similar ones with my German and Polish friends. I must say I love your Christmas tablecloth. Is it new?
Thank you! It's a new tablecloth, we show it in one of the Gift Guide videos.
Mmmmmm I can almost smell the aroma of these cookies!!
They look very tasty. Thanks for sharing.
They look delicious! Great job Kirsten & Joerg. 😀🦉
They all look yummy, but I think the cinnamon stars would be my favourite as I just love cinnamon xx
Thank you SO Much for sharing with us all these beautiful Christmas Recipes from your homeland Germany! They are all very inspiring!😍 And also, thank you for letting us enjoy the beautiful Christmas decor of your house! I love it!🌲🌲🎄🌟🎄🌲🌲
❤️Merry CHRISTMAS❤️
Just subscribed from America. What a fun and lovely channel. Look forward to seeing more. The cookies remind me of my sweet MIL's German neighbor, she always baked her childhood cookies and shared them during the Christmas season. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
For me and my family growing up, Stollen is a staple. I absolutely love Stollen. It’s gotta have marzipan, too.
Wow, that's a lot of baking for one day 😅 the mini jammy dodgers were my favourite but they all looked good, Joerg's office are in for a treat 😁👍
Yes, so fun but quite rewarding.
I Love your apron!
I am definately in the mood to bake! Looks so delicious. Do you bake a big batch and freeze for Christmas? I loved baking at Christmas when i was a child especially yule logs. kirsten your dress and apron lovely. You make baking look effortless. Thank you as always.
Thanks so much! No, we don't freeze for Christmas, Joerg took many to the office with him and then we might bake some more fresh ones next week to take to my family hopefully.
