Baking Cookies with the Thermomix: Christmas treats made easy
Early November. It gets dark earlier outside, the first candle is lit – and somewhere in the back of your mind a voice whispers: "Now would actually be the perfect moment for Cookies." If you have your Thermomix, then I'll tell you: that voice is absolutely right. Baking Cookies with the Thermomix is so relaxing that you'll wonder why you ever put yourself through it any other way. Kneading dough by hand? Forget it. Here's how you can truly enjoy your Christmas baking with the Thermomix – with recipes that work, and accessories that really make a difference. ---
"1. Put the powdered sugar into the mixing bowl and pulverize for 10 seconds on level 10 – if you don't have any ready-made."
Why the Thermomix revolutionizes your Christmas baking
Creaming butter, weighing flour, kneading dough until your arms ache – that's a thing of the past. The Thermomix weighs, mixes, kneads, and controls the temperature. You have time for hot cocoa and your favorite Christmas playlist.
With Christmas baking in the Thermomix, the precision really pays off. No dough that's too sticky, no clumpy butter, no chaos. Ingredients in, set the level, done. And if you want to bake several kinds on the same day like most people: that's exactly what the Thermomix is built for.
The perfect base recipe: Thermomix dough for Cookies & shortcrust pastry
Shortcrust pastry is the base for what feels like 80% of all Christmas Cookies – from cut-out Cookies to cinnamon stars to vanilla crescents. In the Thermomix, it turns out reliably.
- 250 g flour (type 405)
- 125 g cold butter (cubed)
- 80 g powdered sugar
- 1 pinch of salt

- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla sugar or cinnamon
1. Put the powdered sugar into the mixing bowl and pulverize for 10 seconds on level 10 – if you don't have any ready-made.
3. Add the butter, flour, egg, salt, and spices.
4. Knead for 20 seconds on level 6 – your Cookie dough is done.
5. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes.
To get the dough cleanly out of the mixing bowl, the mixcover wooden spatula for Thermomix TM7, TM6, TM5, TM31 (€6.95) is a real game-changer. It fits the curves of the mixing bowl perfectly and gets out even the very last bit of dough without scratching.
5 easy Christmas Cookie recipes for the Thermomix
Base dough is ready – what's next? Five ideas that all work with the same Christmas baking Thermomix recipe as a base:
1. Classic cut-out Cookies – roll out the dough, cut out shapes, bake at 175 °C for about 10 minutes, decorate once cooled.
2. Cinnamon Cookies – add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of cardamom to the base dough, and you've got the Christmas flair.
"Base dough is ready – what's next?"
3. Chocolate shortbread – add 2 tbsp cocoa to the dough, cut into rectangles, and dip in chocolate after baking.
4. Vanilla crescents – shape the dough into little crescents, bake, and roll in vanilla sugar right away.
5. Coconut macaroons – briefly whip egg whites with sugar and shredded coconut in the Thermomix, shape into little mounds, and bake.
> Tip: Switching out parchment paper is annoying. A reusable baking liner is the more honest solution – more on that in a moment.
