I was tempted to name these Maple Walnut Cookies my ” Canadian Christmas Cookies ” as they are definitely the most Canadian thing on my Christmas Cookie plate.
In Germany we don´t bake a lot with walnuts – we prefer hazelnuts! Especially for our Christmas cookies like these German Hazelnut Meringue Cookies. Unfortunately almost every single member of my Canadian family is allergic to them! So hello Walnuts! And what do they go with best? Yes, with good old maple sirup!
The truth is that the maple sirup is the only Canadian thing about them! The rest of the cookie is an all German whole wheat & butter cookie with a pinch of Christmas spices!

They are the bomb!!! Try them!
