Cookie Ranking: These Varieties Must Not Be Missing In The Christmas Bakery

When the temperatures get colder and the days shorter, it's also the time for punch, cookies, and stollen - because nothing says "Christmas" more than the scent of spices in the air.

This is also confirmed by the Spice Report 2024 of the domestic producer and spice market leader Kotányi, which among other things investigated which Christmas bakeries Austrians particularly love and which "sweet" spices must not be missing in domestic kitchens and bakeries.

Survey: Vanilla Crescents are Austrians' Favourite Cookies

The result of this year's cookie ranking: For more than half of Austrians (51 percent), the vanilla crescent is the undisputed star in the cookie sky. In second place comes gingerbread (33 percent), followed by Linzer eyes (23 percent), coconut kisses and rum balls (each 20 percent). For almost all Austrians, by the way, the (pre-)Christmas enjoyment is part of the celebration - only three percent, according to the survey, do not like Christmas bakery.

In general, the Kotányi Spice Report confirmed that Austrians like to sweeten their everyday life with "sweet" spices, the indispensable favourites are clearly cinnamon and vanilla. These spices are particularly popular in the preparation of pastries, baked goods and breakfast dishes such as pancakes and porridge, as well as in desserts and drinks up to smoothies.
