    Cookies

    Typically Germans bake cookies during advent season or Christmas time. It's the perfect time to get in the Christmas spirit. Some of my favorites are Vanillkipferl (vanilla bean crescent cookies), Linzer cookies (Spitzbuben) and Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars).

    • German spritz cookies partially dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with caramelized nuts.

    Hallo! I'm Sophie Sadler, cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and German food blogger at dirndl kitchen since 2015. I am so happy you’re here! 🥨

    I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009 and soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
