This recipe is a translation of the Glühweinplätzchen recipe sent in by Gerhild Froeschke. She mentioned that she takes recipes and changes them to make them her own.
This is one of those recipes. Glühwein (mulled wine) is a very traditional German drink, especially during the Christmas celebrations and can be purchased throughout Germany.
You'll find the recipe for Glühwein right below the recipe for the Mulled Wine Cookies. These wine cookies are really bar cookies, baked on a cookie sheet and then cut into squares. makes for easy baking.
You will see in the photo above that the cookies have been dusted with powdered sugar. That's totally optional. When they are iced, the icing absorbs into the tops of the cookies. Dusting with powdered sugar looks so pretty, but not necessary.
