Berlinerkranzer - Little Wreaths
Recipe:
The German cookie, Berlinerkranzer, or Little Wreaths, can be made in various ways. In this video I chose to color the dough instead of using colored sugar. As promised, I am making the old world cookies as simple as possible. I will be using prepared sugar cookie dough as my base cookie dough and using a variety of natural additives, coloring, and flavorings.
Lebkuchen: Video Recipe (or how not to botch a favorite Christmas cookie)
Wherein the author shows how to make genuine German Lebkuchen. A heavy, rich (but fat free) soft and chewie cookie that's a little like gingerbread...but not quite. It's actually better. We replace the fat with mass amounts of carbs. So it's actually worse for your arteries. The full recipe is included in the video. For best results ignore what the guy is saying and look at the written recipe toward the end. (Shot with a Sony HX5V. Edited with Sony Vegas 7....for the techno nerds out there)
