These crispy, flaky Jan Hagel cookies are a favorite Dutch Christmas tradition.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, separated, divided
- 1 teaspoon water
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Set out two rimmed baking sheets.
Step 2
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in egg yolk until thoroughly combined and creamy. Add flour and cinnamon and mix until dough is well combined.
Step 3
Spread 2/3 of the dough over one baking sheet; spread remaining dough over half of the second baking sheet. Press down on dough with your fingers, then score with a fork.
Step 4
Whisk egg white and water together in a small bowl; brush lightly over dough. Sprinkle walnuts over top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and immediately cut into 24 squares or rectangles. Let cool completely on the baking sheets, then remove and separate cookies.
