Little nutty, buttery German cookies dusted with plenty of icing sugar: crescents, and thimble shapes with a spoonful of raspberry jam in the middle.

Part of the series of festival recipes. They are best eaten in the run-up to Christmas, though you can make them any time of year.

Any jam will do. Cherry jam works well instead of raspberry.
