Lahrs

Lahrs are a type of traditional German confectionery, originating from the Black Forest region. They are small, round, and slightly flattened cookies, typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. The dough is rolled out, cut into circles, and then baked until golden brown. Lahrs are often dusted with powdered sugar or decorated with icing or chocolate.

The name "Lahrs" is derived from the German word "Lahre," which means "little round thing." They are a popular treat during the Christmas season and are often served with mulled wine or other festive beverages. Lahrs can also be found in various shapes and sizes, with some variations including Lahrs with a hole in the center, known as "Löcherlahrs."

In addition to their traditional use as a Christmas treat, Lahrs are also enjoyed throughout the year and can be found in bakeries and confectionery shops across Germany. They are a beloved part of German culinary heritage and are often associated with the warmth and comfort of the holiday season.
