The idea for this recipe book was born in 2008 in Vienna, when I first starting baking more than just the three standard kinds of Christmas cookies.
Each following autumn I was working on this book, but it took until 2016 till I managed to get both the recipes and the photos just right and like I wanted them.
Since 2020 the recipes are now also available as a web site.

Whisk the egg whites with the salt to stiff peaks and then slowly sift in the powdered sugar through a fine-meshed strainer. Next, carefully fold the shredded coconut and lemon juice into the beaten egg whites with a spatula.
With a teaspoon shape small heaps on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper, then bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 7 minutes, until the cookies are a nice golden color.
Tip: If you don’t have lemon juice, you can replace it with a twist of vinegar.
