CHRISTMAS BAKING

The cookie tin

The weeks when the oven never really cools down. Butter softening on the counter, sugar on every surface, a new tray going in before the last one is cool. And somewhere in the middle, a tin that never quite fills up.

Baking tips

Christmas baking is a whole season, not a weekend. Trays cooling on every surface, a kitchen that smells like butter and cinnamon, and nothing goes in the tin until it’s completely cool. I put together my best tips and a little essentials list for you, so the next baking day is all in one place. Now preheat the oven.

soft butter, always

Keep half the butter on the counter, the other half in the fridge. Forgot? Slice it, lay it on a plate, ten seconds in the microwave, perfect.

Zimtsterne and Vanillekipferl look fancy and are easier than you think. Start with one batch.

more sprinkles

Buy more decorations than seems reasonable. Decorating is the best part.
