You gotta be ******* kidding? I looked up Hildabrötle and discovered my mother used to make them. We called them sugar cookies.

You are definitely a German Kook

---- Here in Team GB you would qualify for an Assistance Allowance as you need a Carer for cooking and eating , for examp;le .

I have always loved as many German cookies as I could get my hands on.

Unfortunately, however, my love affair has led me to type2 diabetes, and I had to call it off.

German chocolate and German pastries and cookies I dont know what the hell they were... but there was nothing else like them around anywhere. really good. very different flavors I havent seen replicated since then.

Yes my mom used red jam. I wish she was alive so I could ask her where she got the recipe because we're French.

Do you eat anything sugary? I'm type 2 and didn't call it off completely.

For what its worth, Oreo cookies are supposed to be introducing no sugar Oreos soon enough.

Frankly, I've never met any German Christmas cookie that wasn't tasty and enjoyable, even the least good plain ones are a delight in construction and detail, and I could probably name 30 more good ones, but hausfreunde and nussecken are probably a couple of my favorites.

IMO, probably every good cookie ever made for Christmas time is a German cookie. To make hausfreunde right is a bit complicated, just in between the cookie layers is an apricot jam, topped with chocolate then finally topped with caramelized cashew halves.

Yum.

Damn that's a good guess since I'm French. We can only trace our ancestry back to Quebec, Canada in the 1800's
