When baking cookies in the pre-Christmas period, you bring Christmas spirit into your home, as the scent of Christmas spices permeates all rooms. Christmas cookies come in all imaginable variations. A particularly delicious version was baked by Esther, our dear photographer, and photographed for us: Christmas shortbread according to a recipe by Theresa Baumgärtner. Rolled out thinly, cut out with Christmas shapes, and lovingly decorated, they simply taste heavenly!

Here is the recipe:

"Rolled out thinly tastes best
the shortbread.
Every year we add a new
small cookie cutter."

Theresa comments on the recipe. Esther sends us beautiful pictures of her self-baked shortbread. They really make you crave Christmas cookies.
