Schneekrapferl EN

I baked these Schneekrapferl (I don’t know any English name for these cookies) for the first time this year and I am thrilled. They are really delicious. I had to bake them a second time because the first ones were eaten right away.

You can be very creative with the Schneekrapferl filling. I made them with: coconut, hazelnuts with cinnamon (any nuts will do) and poppy seeds.

Made out of a cold yeast dough, rolled out very thin, then spread of a thin layer of a beaten egg white and sprinkled with your favourite filling ( nuts or Poppy seeds), rolled up and cut out with a round pastry cutter or a small glass.
