Vanilla Stars (Vanillesternchen- German Christmas Cookies) Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- To Make Dough:.
- Cut the cold butter up into small pieces and mix together with the rest of the ingredients in a kitchen mixer with a kneading attachment. Later knead with hands into a smooth dough (could also use fork if you don’t have a food processor). Wrap the dough in Saran wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Vanilla Topping:.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (375 F.).
- Melt butter.
- Slit the vanilla beans with a razor lengthwise and scratch out the insides with the tip of a sharp knife.
- Stir half of the vanilla essence and one hollowed vanilla hull into the melted butter.
- The rest of the vanilla and the other hull mix with the powdered sugar.
- Sprinkle work space with flour and roll the dough until it is even and about 3 millimeters thin. With a small star cookie cutter (4 cm) cut out stars and lay them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
- Bake cookies in oven for about 10 minutes(try not to let them get brown).
- Immediately after baking brush or dip the surface of every star with the vanilla butter sauce and let them cool.
- Warm up the quince jelly in a small sauce pan on the stove and stir until smooth.
- Brush half of the stars with quince jelly and thickly sift the vanilla powdered sugar mixture over the other half.
- Store in an air-tight container. These cookies take a few days to fully ripen so it is a good make-ahead cookie for the advent season.
