My mom’s Christmas cookies…best eaten straight out of the tins before Christmas! As is tradition, this year’s selection included the fabulous Nikolokugerln, which only require a few simple ingredients and are put together in no time (see picture below – the little round balls in the center of the plate).

Nikolokugerln

250g oat meal
80g walnuts, finely ground
60g unsalted butter, at room temperature
5-6 tablespoons strong coffee
200g powdered sugar

Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add softened butter and coffee, and mix well. Form little balls and roll in powdered sugar. They can be stored in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.

Merry Christmas!
