Walnut Kipferl – German Walnut Cookies:
Are you guys ready for Christmas this year? I sure am not, but time waits for no one, right?! So I decided to take advantage of it and start baking and testing recipes for Christmas early this year. I am doing what I do best and enjoying these last few weeks of 2020 to their highest!

I am sharing today a recipe from last year’s Christmas cookie collection, but last year does not mean outdated in this case as these cookies are amazing and they will surely blow your taste buds away. These walnut kipferl cookies are so tender and fragrant, so soft and sandy, they just melt in your mouth instantly! The icing sugar coating gives them a feeling of candy and very very festive in my opinion.
