Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C / 350 °F. Set two pieces of parchment paper the size of your baking sheet aside.
- In a bowl, mix baking powder with all-purpose flour and set aside.
- Add butter and sugar to a bowl and mix till incorporated. Add the cinnamon and salt and mix till incorporated followed by half of the whisked egg. Mix till incorporated.
- Add the flour mixture and briefly mix till the dough starts to form. Don't over mix. Take out the dough as soon as it starts to come together and place it on a work surface.
- Using your hands form a ball of the dough and place the dough onto some parchment paper that's big enough to fit your baking sheet. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough in between the sheets into a rectangular shape of 12 x 14 inch (30 x 35 cm).
- Brush the rolled out dough with the other half of the whisked egg. Sprinkle the Jan Hagel cookie dough with slivered almonds and pearl sugar. Place the second sheet of parchment paper on top again and lightly roll the sugar and almonds into the dough.
- Transfer the dough, with the parchment paper still on the bottom to a baking sheet. And bake in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes till golden. When the big cookie sheet is nice and golden it's ready to take out of the oven.
- Once out of the oven, immediately use a knife to cut into cookies of 1 x 3 inch (3 x 8 cm) while still hot. Make sure to use oven gloves, the baking sheet will still be hot. Leave the cookies to cool slightly on the sheet, don't pick them up yet while still hot or they will break. Once they're cool enough to pick up you can transfer them to a wire rack to cool down further.

JAN HAGEL-DUTCH ALMOND COOKIE
The recipe came from my husband's grandma, or Beppe. She knew they were my favourite, so every time we went to their house, she would make sure that she had some on hand and then send some home with me! I am lucky in that she shared her recipe with me, too. They are remarkably quick to make and to disappear.

JAN HAGEL COOKIES (DUTCH HOLIDAY)
My parents came from the Netherlands to the US in the late 50's. I grew up with Dutch food which is very peasant, but the pastries and cookies are something else. My mother always made these at Christmas time. They are very simple and have a delightful spice flavor.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- 2. Cream shortening, add, sugar, egg yolk, cream well.
- 3. Add vanilla.
- 4. Add dry ingredients gradually.
- 5. Knead dough a bit and then divide into two equal portions.
- 6. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
- 7. Using your hands, spread the dough into an even layer on the sheets. (I use a rolling pin at the end to smooth it out.)
- 8. Brush with egg white diluted with a little water. Sprinkle with almonds.
- 9. Bake 20 minutes, 30 for thicker cookies. Cut on diagonal to create diamond shaped cookies within minutes of removing from oven.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh butter, eggs, and flour will result in better-tasting cookies.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough and make the cookies lighter and crispier.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and will also result in a more tender cookie.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly browned around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Jan Hagel cookies are a delicious and festive holiday treat that is sure to be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these cookies are a great option for bakers of all skill levels. So next time you're looking for a holiday baking project, be sure to give Jan Hagel cookies a try.
