NOVUM Christmas KITCHEN

Wir laden Ihre Batterien mit Weihnachtsplätzchen auf!

Tschüss 2024! Hallo Weihnachtszeit! Während die NOVUM-KI weiter die Stellung hält, freuen wir uns auf entspannte Tage mit unseren Lieblingsmenschen, Spaziergänge in der Natur und natürlich jede Menge Schokolade.

Damit auch Sie gut gelaunt und voller Energie in die Feiertage starten, hat das Team von NOVUM sich in diesem Jahr etwas ganz Besonderes überlegt: Gemeinsam mit allen Mitarbeitern haben wir einen Tag lang angepackt, um unsere Kunden und Partner mit selbst gebackenen Weihnachtsplätzchen zu versorgen.

Unsere Lieblingsrezepte und viele bunte Eindrücke aus der NOVUM Chrismas Kitchen finden Sie hier.

Wir bedanken uns für die gute Zusammenarbeit in diesem Jahr, wünschen Ihnen fröhliche Feiertage und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

VANILLEKIPFERL

Precisely hand-curved and dusted with a delicate layer of vanilla, they are perfect for winter indulgence or as a reliably sweet addition to any biscuit plate. The only downside: their shelf life decreases dramatically as soon as someone says, ‘Can I have one?’

For our Vanillekipferl:

Mix the flour, butter, ground almonds, icing sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl and quickly knead everything into a smooth dough.
Flatten the dough, cover it and chill it for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan oven 160 degrees) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Shape the dough into pencil-thick rolls in portions.
Cut these into 4–5 cm long pieces and shape them into crescents..
Place the crescents on the baking tray.
Bake for 10–11 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar and vanilla sugar.
Sprinkle the Kipferl with the sweetened vanilla sugar mixture immediately after baking, while they are still warm, and leave them to cool completely.

THE RESULT

Some 40 delicate, vanilla-flavoured crescent-shaped biscuits that melt in your mouth and make any biscuit plate a highlight in no time at all.

THE DOUGH:

280 g wheat flour

210 g soft butter

100 g ground almonds

70 g icing sugar

2 packets vanilla sugar

FOR SPRINKLING:

50 g icing sugar

1 packet vanilla sugar

BUTTER BISCUITS

Butter biscuits are always a hit and are very easy to make. Our delicate golden biscuits are versatile and perfect for snacking or as a little treat. Lightly buttered, slightly sweet and optionally decorated with icing, that's all you need for a delicious afternoon.

For our butter cookies:

Mix cold butter, flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and the egg in a bowl and quickly knead everything into a smooth dough.
Wrap the dough in foil and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (top/bottom heat; 160 degrees for fan ovens) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 5 mm.
Cut out biscuits with cookie cutters and place them directly on the baking tray.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 7–10 minutes until they are lightly golden brown.

THE REFINEMENT:

For the glaze, mix icing sugar with lemon juice and spread it onto the cooled biscuits with a spoon. Decorate them as desired with sugar decorations.
Allow the glaze to set and enjoy your biscuits.

THE RESULT:

Delicate, buttery shortbread biscuits with a tender texture and optional glazed finish, approximately 30 to 40 pieces depending on the size of the cookie cutter.

THE DOUGH:

250 g butter

250 g flour

100 g sugar

1 packet vanilla sugar

1 egg

THE ICING:

100 g icing sugar

A little lemon juice (as needed)

OATMEAL COOKIES

Oatmeal cookies are simple, delicious and bring Christmas cheer to your plate. Our delicate oatmeal cookies have a crunchy bite, are studded with delicious chocolate chips and are perfect as a little snack or for sharing.

For our oatmeal cookies:

Mix the softened butter, sugar, honey, vanilla sugar, salt and egg in a bowl and stir until creamy.
Add the flour, oatmeal, candied orange peel and chopped sour cherries and knead everything into a malleable dough.
Form small balls from the dough and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving a little space between them.
Flatten the balls slightly.
Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 180 degrees top/bottom heat (160 degrees fan oven) for about 12–15 minutes until they are lightly golden brown.
Leave the biscuits to cool on a wire rack.
