    German Christmas Stollen Bites

    Stollen or Christstollen are one of the most popular German Christmas treats. Dresdner Christstollen is famous all over the world and I posted already a recipe for it here. In this recipe post I will show you how you can make the delicious Christmas cake in a mini bite-sized version.

    How Are Stollen Bites called in German?

    Stollen bites are called Stollenkonfekt, (n - das Stollenkonfekt) in German.

    Ingredients

    No Eggs Or Yeast Included In This Recipe

    The recipe does NOT include any egg and no yeast like you would find in other traditional recipes.

    Flour

    I usually use all-purpose flour. If you have a gluten allergy or would like a lower-carb version you might be able substitute the all-purpose flour for 2 cups of almond flour plus ⅓ cup coconut flour. If your dough will be still too soft add more almond or pecan flour.

    Nuts

    You can use your favorite nuts in this recipe. No matter if you use walnuts, pecans, almonds or hazelnuts. They all taste amazing in this recipe. I chop the nuts only roughly as I like the different textures in the cookies. But you can chop them finely if you prefer a smoother texture.

    Quark

    If you can´t find quark in your local supermarket you can use Greek yogurt instead. I prefer the 5% yogurt as it comes the closest to German quark.

    Raisins

    If you don´t like raisins or just love variety you can use cranberries instead or other dried fruit that you cut into small pieces.
