Glatfelters

Glatfelters are a type of traditional German confectionery, originating from the region of Swabia in southern Germany. They are small, round, and flat cookies, typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. The dough is rolled out thinly and then cut into circles, which are then baked until golden brown. Glatfelters are often flavored with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla, and can be decorated with sugar crystals or sprinkles.

The name "Glatfelter" is derived from the German word "Glatte," which means "smooth," referring to the flat shape of the cookies. They are a popular treat during the Christmas season and are often served with coffee or tea. Glatfelters can also be found in various shapes and sizes, including stars, hearts, and other decorative designs.

In addition to their traditional form, Glatfelters can be made into various other shapes and sizes, including stars, hearts, and other decorative designs. They are also used as a base for other confections, such as fruit tarts or cream-filled pastries. Glatfelters are a beloved treat in Germany and are enjoyed by people of all ages.
