CHRISTMAS (KISSMAS) ALMOND COOKIES



Christmas (Kissmas) Almond Cookies image

I found this recipe on the Hershey website. I changed the original recipe to add extra almond extract because when I tasted the dough, 1 tsp didnt seem like enough. You can add more if you feel it needs even more of an almondy taste.

BETHMAENNCHEN - GERMAN CHRISTMAS COOKIES



Bethmaennchen - German Christmas Cookies image

My family first had these yummy almond cookies (pronounced "BAIT-men-chen") when a German exchange student made them for us at Christmas time so she could have a taste of home. She blanched, skinned, and halved the almonds herself, which took most of the preparation time. When pressed for time I have substituted store-bought chopped almonds, but I'm told that that's anathema for anyone who wants the real thing. This prep time excludes preparing the almonds.
