Fruity Christmas cookies were also a wish of my husband’s; here I found a recipe for Hausfreunde that uses candied orange peel, candied lemon peel, and candied cherries.
Extra tip: To do this, rinse the knife repeatedly with cold water; then you can cut the pieces easily. Leave to cool and only then store in the cookie tin or taste them right away.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (top and bottom heat).
For the dough, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix well.
Chop the candied cherries and raisins into small pieces.
Now mix 1/3 of the remaining ingredients, such as walnuts, raisins, candied lemon peel, Aranzini and cherries, into the dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough on the baking sheet.
Now sprinkle the dough with the remaining third of the fruit mixture.
Bake the Hausfreunde at 160°C top and bottom heat for about 20 to 25 minutes until done.
After the baking time, remove from the oven and cut into strips while still hot.
For this, rinse the knife repeatedly with cold water, then you can cut the pieces well. Let cool and only then store in the cookie tin or sample them right away.
