These German cookies are sweet and nicely spiced with a satisfying crunch. We often make these during Christmas. Since I am not partial to walnuts I always omit them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. They didn't look anything like the pictures.

These cookies are a bit bland. I think they need more cinnamon.

I had a hard time getting the dough to the right consistency. It was too sticky at first, and then it became too dry.
