The dough for these cookies is what makes them exceptional. I always quadruple this recipe for the holidays. Most popular fillings are peach, apricot, raspberry and date. Use your imagination! This year I'm trying Michigan cherry preserves and cranberry marmalade. You better hide a few for Christmas day--- these are the ones that go first!

My granny always made these around Christmas. They are the easiest, best tasting cookies around. Be warned, they are addictive.

Rich tart pastry of little horns. The filling can also be marmalade, a mixture of raisins or currants with cinnamon and sugar, or chopped hazelnuts with sugar and enough sour or sweet cream to bind the mixture.

This dough is made rich by adding ice cream. It is made even quicker and easier by using a canned filling.

The vanille kipferl originated in Austria, and they are also very popular in Switzerland and Germany. The kipferl become even yummier after 2 to 3 days...but only for those who can resist long enough. If desired, the two ends of the kipferl can be dipped in warm chocolate and then left to cool.
