Dear Frugal Chef, I was excited to see this recipe as my husband is from Germany and we have a small German bakery where we live however they charge an arm and a leg for this. I followed your recipe and had great success. My husband said they remind him of his Mom’s and she is a wonderful mother in law so the compliment was great. Thank you now onto your brownie recipe
Beautiful German cookies. The method you described of lining a tin with a greased brown paper bag is what I used to use years ago when I couldn't buy parchement paper for my xmas cakes & it always worked well. Thank you for another lovely recipe. Your daughter & grand daughter are gorgeous! Cheers Mary Ann.
Thank you for the recipe. I am German, although born in the USA. Always looking for German food/cookies to make. Thanks for all the tricks and information. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Jan Silversides Hi Jan! You would be surprised at the fact that you can't even taste the jam in this recipe. However, I guess you can make these with raspberry or strawberry jam. Thanks!
Hey! I am German and these cookies aren´t really considered to be christmasy (but they sure are delicious) which is actually a good thing because it means you can eat and buy them all year. And yes, you kinda butchered the name a little but it´s really cute :)
If you can't find either parchment paper, AND you can't find a brown paper grocery bag, you probably should move to an area where there is an established civilization.

What other kind of jam/preserve/marmalade can be used besides apricot. I can't stomach apricots. Thanks so much. 🎄
