Directions
- If you"re off to The Netherlands for the holidays you will find which many parts of a Christmas Tree are edible, namely the decorations. Kerstkransjes are the traditional cookie decoration for many Dutch homes. Children are encouraged to remove a cookie each night during the Twelve Days of Christmas, or possibly when they have been particularly good during the day.
- The Cook & Kitchen Staff at Recipe-a-day.com simply encourage you to treat yourself to this fine holiday tradition from The Netherlands today, as we hear you have been very, very good!
- Bring all the ingredients to room temperature. Cream butter, honey and water together in a large mixing bowl till well blended. In a small, separate mixing bowl, mix flour, baking pwdr and lemon peel together. Add in the flour mix, a small portion at a time, to the honey mix, blending continually. Knead the completed mix into a soft ball, adding more flour if necessary. Wrap and refrigeratedough for 1-hour.
- Pre-heat your oven to 375-F degrees. On a floured surface, roll half the dough out into 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out circles with cookie cutter or possibly floured rim of a glass. Cut out cookie wreath centers with a small cookie cutter or possibly rim-floured thimble. Reserve centers to make more cookies.
- Place cookies on buttered cookies sheet, about 1-inch apart. Lightly brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar and minced almonds. Bake for 8-10 min, till golden. Remove cookies from oven and cold on sheet till no longer soft. Remove to wire rack to cold completely. Repeat process with remaining cookie dough.
- Store in an air-tight container or possibly follow the tradition of The Netherlands and tie the cooled cookies with lengths of red ribbon to your Christmas Tree.
