I got this recipe from my grandmother who got it from her grandmother. She had to translate it and then figure out measurements. The original recipe called for "enough flour to make a dough". Thankfully grandma knew what kind of dough.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for butter that is at least 82% fat, and use fresh eggs and pure vanilla extract.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

German wine cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and crispy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give German wine cookies a try.
