    Today I got a last Christmas cookie recipe for you before the final countdown to Christmas starts. If you haven’t baked Christmas cookies yet, you are probably not in the mood for baking or hate Christmas cookies. Who knows. Everybody else – if you are still looking for some nice Christmas cookies check out these delicious Gingerbread Chocolate Nougat Crescent Cookies. They are super delicious and go well with all the other Christmas cookies I suppose ;)

    Back in the days, I was a bit more organized when the Christmas cookie baking madness started. I made lists for shopping, lists to organize the different recipes by days so I could avoid the annoying “what to do with some leftover egg yolks” problem… lists for everything. Nowadays I am a bit more relaxed when it comes to Christmas baking. I am not baking 10 or more different Christmas cookies at a time, so much less organization is needed ;) I got my all-time favorites and maybe 1-2 “new” recipes each season and that’s it. These Gingerbread Nougat Crescent Cookies belong to the category “new and interesting”. My “regular” Vanilla Crescents are something I make each year – this variation might make it to the list again next year…

    If you like chocolate and (hazelnut) nougat you might want to make these little fellas. They are very “chocolaty” and melt in your mouth. The gingerbread spice gives them the right amount of Christmas. If you leave that out, you can actually make them all year round as a sweet treat. Well – with or without gingerbread spice – a good addition to every Christmas cookie plate ;)

    Next year I will try some more crescent cookies I think. There are so many flavors you can incorporate here. What do you think? Anything I should try?

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch

    (about 40 pieces)

    3.5 oz. (100g) butter, softened
    7 oz. (200g) chocolate nougat (for baking)
    2 1/4 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. gingerbread spices
    1 tsp. ground cinnamon
    pinch of salt
    1 medium egg

    2-3 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar for dusting

    (ca. 40 Stück)

    100g weiche Butter
    200g Nussnougat (schnittfest)
    300g Mehl (Type 550)
    1/2 TL Backpulver
    1 TL Lebkuchengewürz
    1 TL Zimt
    Prise Salz
    1 Ei (M)

    2-3 EL Puderzucker zum Bestäuben

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set aside.

    2. Add the butter and nougat to a large bowl and mix until creamy. Mix the flour with baking powder, gingerbread spice, cinnamon, and salt. Add together with the egg to the bowl and mix until you get a nice smooth dough. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll out each to a log with a thickness of about 0.8 inches (2cm). Cut the logs each into roughly 20 slices and form each slice to a ball first, then shape it into a crescent. Place with some space in between on the prepared baking sheets and bake one sheet at a time for about 11-12 minutes. Take out and let cool down on the baking sheet for a while, then remove (including the baking parchment) and place on a wire rack to cool down completely.

    3. Dust the cooled crescents with confectioners’ sugar and store in a tin box with layers of baking parchment in between the cookies. The gingerbread nougat crescents should be good for about 3-4 weeks if you store them in a cooler place (not the fridge).

    1. Den Backofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Butter mit dem Nougat in einer großen Schüssel cremig aufschlagen. Mehl mit Backpulver, Lebkuchengewürz, Zimt und Salz vermischen und dann zusammen mit dem Ei zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Den Teig halbieren und zwei Rollen formen mit etwa 2cm (0.8 inches) Durchmesser. Die Rollen in jeweils ca. 20 Scheiben schneiden. Die Scheiben zu Kugeln rollen und dann in die Form von Kipferln bringen. Mit etwas Abstand auf die Bleche setzen und dann die Bleche mit den Kipferln nacheinander jeweils 11-12 Minuten in der Mitte des Ofens backen. Herausholen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann mit dem Backpapier herunterziehen und auf einem Gitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Die abgekühlten Kipferl mit Puderzucker bestreuen und in einer Blechdose lagern – am Besten mit etwas Butterbrotpapier zwischen den Lagen. Halten sich 3-4 Wochen an einem kühlen Ort gelagert.
