Just imagining the “zing” (ginger) and “ahh” (chocolate) of the Ginger Chocolate Cookies literally made my mouth water! A truly creative and delicious-sounding combo.

Hey, Oh these bring back so many memories! I grew up in Austria, and no German or Austrian Christmas is complete without a healthy dose of Vanillekipferl. They are slightly crispy on the outside, but melt in the mouth and the combination of nuts and vanilla is heavenly. I’ve been in the states for 14 years now, and we still make them every Christmas Thanks for the reminder!

Gorgeous post. I love your blog.

“Vanillekipferl” is pronounced mostly how it is spelled. “Vanille” is a lot like our English vanille but with an “ee” sound: “vaNEEla.”

“Kipferl” is pronounced as it is spelled, but “ferl” would rhyme with how a British person says “pearl.” You know, more like “puhl,” omitting the r. So “Kipfuhl.”

Put them together and you have:
“VaNEElakipfuhl.” Hope that helps!

PS The vanilla cookies look great, too…reminds me of my trip to Europe last year, which included a stop in Germany. I may have to try these for Christmas!

Chocolate! Glorious Chocolate!!!! Honestly, need I say more about the chocolate galore cookies? I must say, about one week per month (teehee) I crave something just like this! If I were the winner of the cookie of the month giveaway, I promise to promote world peace, starting with my household.

[...] mentioned The Morning Gift was my favorite book a couple of weeks ago when I posted the vanillekipferl recipe. Though this isn’t a Christmas book, it fills me with such happiness that I am sharing [...]
