German Cookies

There is a tradition from Adam's side of the family (his mother's side, to be exact) to make German cookies each Christmas time. The whole clan loves them, they just eat 'em up. This year Nate was old enough to help roll them out, which he just loved. He really enjoyed putting flour on his hands so he could roll them into balls--he kept saying "It tickles me!"
As a side note, I have heard that one must learn to like these cookies. They look kind of like gingerbread cookies, but they taste like black licorice. Strong black licorice. I just haven't decided I like them well enough in relation to the calories. I'll stick to the other things that widen my rear at Christmas time, like the things I love--candy and chocolate! haha
