Christmas cookies – recipe for Wolkenstreifen
Ingredients:
- 75 g butter
- 3 eggs
- 200 g flour
- 75 g sugar
- 2 tbsp whipping cream
- 125 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg, ground
- 50 g almonds, chopped
- 50 g candied orange peel
- 30 g pistachios, chopped
Instructions:
Separate the eggs, melt the butter, and preheat the oven to 160 °C. Now knead the butter, sugar, egg yolks, whipping cream, and flour in a bowl into a smooth dough. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface and place it on the baking tray lined with baking paper. For the topping, beat the egg whites until stiff. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Finally, fold in the almonds. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough and smooth it out.
Cut small rectangles with a pastry wheel. Finely chop the candied orange peel and distribute it nicely with the pistachios over the egg white mixture. Bake in the oven at 160° C with top and bottom heat for about 20–25 minutes until light. The surface must not brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool; only then carefully loosen from the baking tray.
