galletas alemanas de Navidad










Estas galletas las hice como una semana  atras pero no había podido  subir el post.
Por suerte hoy me resultó.
A veces tengo problemas de acceso al computador (mi hijo estudia Computación)
Y esto se junta con idas al dentista, psicólogo y otros menesteres. 
Estas galletas me recuerdan unas que comiamos cuando chicos en Concepción, en la zona había varias Pastelerías alemanas y que hacian estas galletas especialmente para Navidad.

Trabajé montones buscando recetas antiguas alemanas del sur de Chile y finalmente encontre las mejores y usé dos. El resultado muy bueno y casi iguales a las que yo comía. 
En el café Colonia aqui en Santiago tambien venden unas como estas.
Aconsejo hacer la masa y refrigerar y al otro día cortar las galletas y hornearlas. Es más facil cortarlas.
Si alquien quiere otras galletas tengo más recetas de Navidad en Christmas recipes.
