This is a traditional cookie that is much loved in most Latin cultures. Even my mother in law says they’re the BEST, and that is saying a lot considering she is from Mendoza, Argentina!
Cut Out Cookies
Cut-Out Butter Cookies
These are very yummy cut-out type cookies. You may end up not needing all of the 2 1/2 cups of flour.
Gingerbread Boys And Girls
These cookies are formed by cookie cutters. By using a toothpick to make a hole in the top of the cookie, you can hang them on the tree. You can also make paint out of egg yolks, and food coloring to make them more colorful–use as much food coloring as needed to create desired hue. My girls and I would spend hours making these cookies each Christmas so we could hang them on the tree.
Lebkuchen VI
I brought this recipe over from Germany almost 20 years ago. It has molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, honey and brown sugar in it. This is one of my favorite memories of Germany at Christmastime.
