First two cookies off that list I will be making: pfeffernuse (15) and chocolate pepper (29).

Well, looks like I just hit 4k - I'll just leave this here so I don't forget.

Glad that this thread was resurrected. I just invented a cookie recipe that is so fucking insanely good I have to share it and wasn't sure where. This seems like a good spot.

I scored a copy of Fannie Farmer's 1896 cook book. It is a complete replica down to the ribbon page holder and the gilt page edges. <- fun fact that is to keep the book worms from gaining entry.

So, I've been going back to old school recipes as a point of departure and also because the recipes are different and interesting and not endlessly copy pasted into a hundred different web pages all claiming to be the original ... I'm getting side tracked.

I'm going to make this recipe a jpg so it won't show up on google searches. It's my gift to you, not the whole fucking internet.

Back later.

Alright. First, if you don't like Nutella then fuck off and shut your whore mouth and go back to whore island.

The original Sand Tart cookie from Fanny Farmer is essentially the same recipe but has 1/4 t cinnamon and uses butter and sugar in the same ratio of fat to sugar in nutella, i.e. 1:2.

The FF cookie is rolled 1/8" thick, cut with a donut cutter, brushed with egg white sprinkled with sugar, and then decorated with half slices of blanched almonds, three per cookie arranged equidistantly. I imagine they are somewhat reminiscent of a sand dollar?

All that sounds like a lot of work, but if it floats your boat, you can do that. The cinnamon will probably not play nice with the nutella, IMO..
