Vaniliekranse – Vanilla wreaths

Recipe by Dane Uploaded by Drimble Wedge

Christmas over here is a time of cookies. Crazy amounts of cookies. These are about as christmasy as it gets over here. A wonderful juxtaposition of sweet and slightly savory, crunchy and slightly chewy. And they yield a shitload of cookies for not all that much work. This is my standard recipe, but a lot of families will have their own that’s been handed down for ages. I’m sure HappyHat’s is different and he might share it if you ask him nicely.

Note: When possible, measurements are by weight. Also this recipe freezes well in its unbaked state, so you can make plenty of dough well in advance.

These are fairly basic shortbreads that get their special look from a specialized tool. I use a huge machine, powered by windmills and solar panels, and equipped with a space-age device that makes magic (basically a faceplate formed like a star).
