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.

Time 40m

Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup almond halve, plus
2 tablespoons peeled almond halves
120 almond halves, reserved for decoration

1 tablespoon rose water
7 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 small eggs
3 1/2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Finely grind the measured almonds.
  • Break the marzipan dough into small pieces and mix with one of the eggs, rosewater, powdered sugar, ground almonds and flour.
  • Separate the remaining egg and beat the yolk, set aside.
  • Form marzipan mixture into balls the size of walnuts.
  • Press three almond halves onto the sides of each ball. The almonds should stand up and down and be evenly spaced around the ball.
  • Brush each ball with the beaten yolk and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Place cookie sheet on the middle rack and bake 15 minutes until golden brown.

VEGAN "EGG YOLK" SUBSTITUTE



Vegan

I found the original recipe on betterbatter.org/egg-yolk-subs titute-vegan and modified it based on what I had on hand - namely a blend of chickpea and all-purpose flour (I was using it in shortbreads anyway which used regular flour so they didn't need to be GF). I was shocked at how wonderfully this worked, once I realized that an electric mixer (hand or stand) is not optional for proper consistency!

Categories     Beans

Time 5m

Yield 1/4 cup, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons chickpea flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons canola oil
yellow food coloring, if desired

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together flours and water until smooth.
  • Heat for 2 minutes, beating with a hand mixer halfway through.
  • Add oil and beat in well - add enough extra oil to make the consistency of the mixture like beaten egg yolks - this mixture should be smooth, thick, and stirrable, with the consistency of canned icing.
  • Use immediately or store tightly covered in the fridge up to 1 month.
  • This will replace 2 yolks.

EGG YOLK COOKIES



Egg Yolk Cookies image

I love making homemade angel food cakes and meringues, but unfortunately hate the waste of egg yolks. Recently, my range decided not to cooperate on my daughter's birthday, so I attempted three times in one day to make her 'promised' angel food cake...resulting in 36 egg yolks left over...YIKES! I made a ton of my Homemade Neverfail Egg Noodles, but I could only stand to have so many noodles made ahead, so I was on a mission. This is the recipe I found, then modified, from one of my Open Line Cookbooks (a radio station recipe program I loved listening to with Mom as a young girl). The recipe does not require chilling prior to rolling and baking, but I prefer to anyway, and in between cookie sheets. I like to double this recipe, as well as most cookie recipes to be quite honest. I think this would also work well pressed out as a cookie dough for a dessert pizza, although I haven't tried that yet. I have also used frozen egg yolks with great success, so there is no need to take on both an angel food cake project or meringue project and cookies in the same day. These also freeze well after baking; I haven't tried freezing them before baking yet. I hope you find this recipe as useful as I do!
