- On Nov. 5, HNA.de and Merkur.de introduced Bienenstich cookies that miniaturize the classic cake by pairing a tender butter base with a caramelized almond topping and a creamy vanilla or pudding filling.
- Suggested tweaks for the Bienenstich version include citrus zest in the cream, a sprinkle of brown sugar for extra crunch on the almonds, or a thin layer of dark chocolate between filling and topping.
- The Bienenstich cookies are presented as ideal for gifting and coffee tables during the season, with advice to keep them airtight for several days to maintain freshness.
- Kurierverlag.de on Nov. 5 shared Oma’s butter cookies, emphasizing a simple shortcrust dough of flour, sugar, cold butter, and egg, quick handling to avoid overworking, and a chill period for easier rolling and cutting.
