What could be better than Christmas cookies based on grandma’s recipe? The Berghotel Rehlegg shares an old recipe for delicious cookies with you. Have fun in the Christmas bakery!
Christmas cookies in the weeks before Christmas
Making cookies is simply a must in the pre-Christmas season. And that’s why the Rehlegg- Grandma tells you her recipe for Rehlegger’s Spitzbuben. The original recipe consists of two cookies of the same shape, but different sizes. Most of you probably know this principle under the name of the “Terrace Cookies”. If the Berghotel Rehlegg can hopefully reopen after December 20, the cookies will be available directly at the hotel. Until then we are baking according to grandma’s recipe. Have a nice pre-Christmas season!
