Oma’s German Christmas Treats Cookbook

by: Gerhild Fulson  / Oma Gerhild shares German recipes rooted in family tradition.

Christmas baking has a way of bringing back memories before the first cookie even comes out of the oven. 

The scent of cinnamon and vanilla. A tray of cookies cooling on the counter. Maybe a little powdered sugar where it shouldn’t be.

The Christmas Treats cookbook is available in paperback, spiral-bound and ebook versions

My Christmas Treats cookbook brings together favorite German Christmas recipes for filling your kitchen with those familiar tastes and traditions of the season.

Many of these recipes came from my Mutti and from dear German friends, gathered over the years and shared from one kitchen to another.

Bring German Christmas Baking Home

Inside, you’ll find more than 30 German Christmas baking recipes, from familiar cookies and festive cakes to stollen, gingerbread, and homemade baking essentials.

From Oma Gerhild’s Kitchen

Christmas baking has always been about more than making something sweet.

It’s remembering the recipes our mothers and grandmothers made. It’s pulling out the same cookie cutters year after year. It’s sharing a plate of cookies with family and friends and discovering that one batch somehow disappears before Christmas even arrives.

These are the kinds of recipes I wanted to gather in Christmas Treats.

Some may be recipes you already know and love. Others may become new Christmas traditions for your family.

Either way, put on the apron and warm up the oven.

Christmas baking is about to begin.
