Every winter, my mother in law sets herself to baking vast quantities of Christmas cookies. There are Linzer Augen and Schneehaubenkekse and Nutella Brownies and Butter Cookies and Lebkuchen and Meringues and and and….there is a broad variety and they keep coming. There are a few family favorites, the Schneehaubenkekse and the Vanillekipferl are certainly the most popular with Mr. NEV.<\/p>\n

When he arrived in early December, one of the items he unpacked from his luggage was a large tin packed with the aforementioned cookies. But he’s a bit of a sweet-tooth and by today, they were all gone. He emailed the family and they sent the recipe and today, we cranked out a big batch of Vanillekipferl.<\/p>\n

A Vanillekipferl is a crescent shaped cookie that’s tossed in powdered sugar. Ours were made with hazelnuts. When they’re right out of the oven, they’re a little crispy, after they’ve sat for a while they get a little chewy. Both ways are excellent – it’s a matter of preference. Mr. NEV doesn’t discriminate; I have a slight preference for a cookie that comes right out of the oven.<\/p>\n

I’ve been pitching in to help with the Austrian baking for a few years now – this year is the first year we’ve made them solo in our Seattle home. Right now, our kitchen smells like baking and the cookie tin is refilled with Vanillekipferl. It’s almost like a little Austrian Christmas. Time to put on some coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n
