Galletas de Navidad alemanas (II)
Bien ya que estamos con la Navidad ad portas estoy subiendo mi ultima receta antes de Navidad, creo que las otras vendran despues.
Ya saben como es este tiempo y aún tengo que preparar la casa para mis papas que vendran un tiempo.
Hablando de las galletas son absolutamente deliciosas.
Otra de esas recetas alemanas netamente antiguas.
Para un té o un café o comer simplemente, deliciosas!!
Feliz Navidad a todos aqui en Chile y a todos los de España, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Perú, y a todos los que pasan por aqui.
Un beso!
