wiseheart: (Merlin magic)
These are the recipes for the cookies I baked this morning. [livejournal.com profile] artemis10002000, they are for you. I've posted them to Pinterest as well, so you can simply download them there, but I thought perhaps more people will be interested - assuming they speak German.

These are absolutely fabulous, and the recipe works the exact way it's printed there, which often isn't the case:



These are delicious, too, but a real pain to make. No matter how long you chill the dough, it keeps breaking apart. In my despair, I added not only the egg yolk but almost the entire egg white, in the hope that it would hold the dough together, but it didn't help a bit. You must experiment a little - please, share with me any miraculous solution you might find:



Also, the things are not such an ugly yellow but light brown in reality - and on the original picture. For some reason my scanner is even worse at reproducing the colours than my iPad is.

Needless to say that after all that baking I had little energy to do anything else. However, I managed to re-string several Christmas tree bauble chains - like the ones in the middle of the picture below - whole string had broken. Now I can't feel my fingertips. Still, I'm content with today's work.
