It’s a versatile ingredient that can be used for various baked goods. For instance, it can be used to sandwich coconut or coffee cookies, but it also works well for Linzer cookies.

Additionally, it’s an excellent option for making last-minute cupcakes on Christmas Day.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp plain flour

The hazelnut-flavored cream is perfect. It is suitable not only for gluing stuffed nuts or tea pastries.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 bag of vanilla sugar
• 6 tablespoons ground walnuts
• 1 tablespoon semi-coarse flour (you can also use vanilla pudding powder)

• Set aside and allow to cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• Put the chopped, softened butter in a bowl, add the vanilla and powdered sugar, whisk until frothy, then add the cooled mash spoon by spoonful.
• It is crucial to constantly rub thoroughly so that no lumps form. If you want to make it easier, use an electric mixer.
• Finally, mix 6 spoons of ground walnuts into the base cream (if you don’t have them, they can also be hazelnuts).

The cream with caramel flavor is absolutely amazing.

It adds an extra kick to the nut cookies and goes well with coffee or chocolate Christmas cookies.

• 1 butter

Simple procedure:

The Vanilla-flavored cream is usually found in the yolk cream rings, but it goes perfectly with Christmas cakes. This cream is perfect as the filling for tubes or shells.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk
• 2 bags of vanilla pudding
• 1 cup butter
• 2 packs of vanilla sugar
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Method:

• Mix the milk, custard, and vanilla custard, cook the thick custard, and let it cool completely.
• Beat the softened butter at room temperature with the icing sugar, add the cooled pudding spoonfuls, and beat.
• Once you have used up all the custard, whisk thoroughly again and are ready.

When preparing sweets, especially those that require gluing, using a high-quality marmalade as an adhesive can make all the difference. It’s a tried and tested method that has been used for years and is just as effective today.

I’m not really a foodie, but I agree that there are specific rules that need to be followed when it comes to cooking. As for the cream, I love whipped cream, and I like putting it on top of my hot chocolate. As for candy, I enjoy putting peanut butter in my chocolate truffles.

There is an abundance of fillings (creams), either in primary or modified form.

We have collected the best stuffing for Christmas cookies and found which suits the selected fillings.
