Vanilla Biscuits (Cookies)

Posted by Perfect Pixie

Vanille Hoernchen (German Christmas Cookies)

Excellent biscuits, fantastic texture and flavour. Very easy to make, just mix all ingredients together and no rolling/cutting required. I have made a different version of this biscuit (lemon almond shortbread) omitting the vanilla and adding... — _lux_ Jan 12, 2007
