Description

The all-time favorite cookie of every German during Christmastime! Super easy and fast to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Instant Vanilla Pudding Powder
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • 2 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar, For Dusting

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 360°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl combine vanilla pudding powder, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract and butter. Whisk until fluffy. Add flour and milk. Knead with your hand until smooth.

Portion dough with a tablespoon into balls. Roll each ball into a 1/2-inch thick roll and bend a little (see the photo).

Place formed cookie dough on the cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar as soon as you take them out of the oven. Let cool completely before serving.

Store in a metal container for at least 1 month to achieve optimal taste and texture.

This is such a simple and easy recipe. I did need to add a tad more milk to moisten the dough.
