This is my all-time favorite German cookie recipe. In Germany, these cookies are known as "Ausstecherle. Usually made at Christmas, the dough is flexible enough to be of use throughout the year, so why limit this delicious treat for a few weeks of the year?

In each household supply stores or you can buy Christmas cookie cutters, metal or plastic. Available in shapes like stars, boots, Santa Claus and other figures can be cut from the dough. Lookfor seasonal figures such as rabbits, eggs for Easter, hearts for Valentine's day around Halloween or witches, and you have a great homemade cookies in this gift idea for the holidays throughout the year.

This was intended as an update of my first mixer: a 5 quarts bowl lift KitchenAid mixer. I think if KitchenAid has a design in which the mixer lifts instead of the bowl, at least 7 quarts, I would change.

I never had a dough mixer the whole room like this. I would have immediately returned.

Today, the batters began to beat against each other and heated mixer and began to smoke - and the mixer was used as a dozen times in two years.

I want a different brand.
