BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES Recipe (»Amerikaner«)

Описание: Today I show a real classic cookie recipe that you can find everywhere in Germany. It is called »Amerikaner« (German for »Americans«). Why this name? Some people say that after WW2 Germans bakers wanted to create the American Black & White Cookies for the GIs based in Germany - so that they feel at home. But they couldn't pronounce »Black & White Cookies« and so they simply called the cookies »Amerikaner«.

I hope you like my new video. Thanks for watching!
