I absolutely loved experimenting foreign recipes,  especially dessert recipes, when I was in high school. One  of my favorite ones to make is German Cookies. I first  learned of it after I\'d tried a recipe for German Crumble  Cake.

Today it\'s the second most common dessert I make. The  cookies themselves aren\'t really sweet (unless I\'ve been  making them wrong all this time), but sweetness has never  been a \"must-have\" factor for me when it comes to a dessert  recipe. And you can always experiment by placing icing on  the cookies or adding more sugar.

German Cookies is also a real \'hands on\' recipe that  contains a hefty bit of butter. Hope you enjoy!

German Cookies

4 cups of flour 

3/4 cups of sugar 

2 sticks of butter 

2 eggs 

1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

Take a sifter, a rolling pin, a baking board, and cookie  cutters (optional). Sift the flour onto the baking board.  Make a dent in the middle of the flour.

Pour the Vanilla Extract onto the flour and sprinkle sugar  on top. Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter them  on the flour. Crack the eggs and pour the yolks into the  dent.

Mix all ingredients by hand, and smooth the dough flat  about a half centimenter thick with the rolling pin.  Engrave the dough with cookie cutters or roll and flatten  into circle shapes.

Grease a cookie sheet and place cookie dough shapes on  top. Put the oven on 350 degrees Farenheit (ovens may vary)  and back for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Let them cool. Any leftovers should be kept covered so  they will last.

And there you have it! You\'ve just made delicious German  Cookies!
