Cream Brezeli is a Swiss snack food that originates from the Schwyz canton. They are thin, crispy cookies that are traditionally served with tea or coffee. These cookies are made by combining flour with cream and water, and they are flavored with vanilla sugar and baking powder. Although they are very popular in Switzerland, they are not known outside of the country. With their light, crispy texture and slightly sweet flavor, these cookies are the perfect snack or dessert to enjoy on a lazy afternoon or evening. They are easy to make and keep well, making them a great option for serving at a party or gathering.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 200 °C.
2.	Mix the flour, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar and the baking powder in a bowl together.
3.	Add the cream and water and mix the ingredients until they form a dough.
4.	Place a small ball of dough at a time on a buttered baking sheet. Brush the Brezeli with oil or liquid butter.
5.	Bake for 4-6 minutes, until the Brezeli turn golden brown, be careful they burn quickly.
