Giving German cooking a try

I attend a Home Group every week and we start with a meal. The hostess loves to cook and she loves to give a theme to the food. We all bring something and tomorrow the theme is German food.
I have frequently taken the easy route of a familiar dessert or the drinks but tomorrow I am going to try to make some German biscuits. I've found a recipe that looks foolproof but whether it is going to taste authentic or not remains to be seen.
We are an International Group and I have enjoyed some very tasty meals with unpronounceable names. The British menu seemed very boring in comparison with Asian, Indian and Chinese ones.
I shall make my German Spice biscuits with a feeling of some trepidation.

I love Black Forest Cake but I am no cake maker and mine rarely rise, so I did not take a chance on that.

@41CombedaleRoad This is a cake that I make often because it's pretty easy to make and everybody likes it.

The dough was very sticky so I had to add more flour. They were OK, they could have been better. Half of them got eaten and I shall finish off the rest!

@41CombedaleRoad I'm glad they were edible even if they didn't all get eaten.

I called them biscuits my the American hostess called them cookies. Is there a difference?

@41CombedaleRoad No difference - the Americans call them cookies. The things they call biscuits are quite different.

Is there some reason why you didn't make them some time before to see if they were what you thought they would turn out to be?
