Is there such a thing as Bavarian Sugar Cookies? If you've seem the movie "Stranger than Fiction" with Will Ferrell, you will know this reference. A reviewer on the film on some website said that he or she was unable to find such a recipe, and thuse assumed that there is no such thing. I was unable to find such a recipre myself. On the message board for this film at IMDb, I posted something about all this and received this response: "The Bavarian cookie is more a style than a specific cookie such as an oatmeal cookie. Bavarian cookies are very thin nearly paper like and never chewy. they are often sold in sleeves like Pringles but of course are flat. They are most often ginger cookies or lemon or plain sugar cookies-- they are quite lovely. I worked in a bakery and a food magazine. Enjoy your search!"
Does anyone know for sure?

A couple of local gourmet food shops carry them in lemon, ginger, orange, and (I think) lime flavors. They come in packages about 7" x 2" x 2" with a clear plastic window. The cookies are about 1/16" thick, and quite crisp.

An old friend used to send us a box of these every Christmas. They were called Moravian Cookies, and were extremely thin, crisp, gingery molasses cookies. Came in various simple shapes, like scalloped circles, etc. You can still find the on line, but there are recipes as well...

A simple copy and paste onto Babelfish will make this recipe clear enough to understand. Below is my rendition using the tools of cyberspace and online translators. Its a rough attempt, which should be accurate enough.

1=2E Combine Butter and Flour. Then add sugar. Fold in Egg Yolk and Salt. Form dough into a ball, cover, and place in cold place/ refrigerator for 30 mins.
2=2E Take out dough and roll out dough to a sheet of 3-4mm thick. With cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes about 6-8 cm large. Place cutouts on metal backing sheet with parchment/baking paper.

Hope that helps. I'm going to try that recipe tonight!
