This was one of my Mother’s Christmas cookies. Like you, she used all walnuts. I love them so much.

Hi!

I guess these cookies have a lot of different names. Here in Germany their name is “Vanille Kipferl” according to the vanilla extract and the form.

My maternal grandmother makes them with almonds and powdered sugar but my paternal grandmother uses rosted almonds and vanilla sugar for the topping.

I can’t decide wich ones I like the most.
But both are an important component for my christmas time and I eat them very much!

The best greatings from Germany!

P.S.: I love this page… Thanks for it!

Hi Kris,

If you have the patience and a sharp knife, you could certainly chop the walnuts finely by hand. You won’t get quite the same consistency but I am sure they would still be great!

I’ve always wanted to make these! These sound really simple… unfortunately I don’t have a food possessor. Not so much room in my tiny (and I mean TINY) kitchen!

My wife’s Babbi used to send these up to us in tins. They would never last until Christmas time though. Unfortunately, Babbi is much too elderly to make these anymore, but thank you for the recipe as a reminder!

My grandmother always made these with almonds; curious to try a walnut version! While other cookies came and went, these were always in the carefully-mailed cookie tin because they were such good keepers.

Those look delish. I have made a similar recipe with Almond Flavoring in them and I can’t find the recipe anymore. Sad, because I LOVED that recipe.
