Are there any friends in Germany who have seen these cookies/biscuits in your grocery shops and would be willing to purchase some for me for Christmas in the next week or 2?

We can get a smaller version of them (pictured below) through German Deli.com in Texas and the cookies are about 2.5" - 3" across but up until a few years ago, our German cousins had been sending us pkgs of them at Christmas time, which were larger and packaged slightly differently. We believe they were up to 4" or 5" across and possibly fewer in the package. Our recipients swear that they tasted a little different and would really like to have some of the others. While these have been ordered online, we'd really like to surprise them with they larger ones, straight from Germany.

Has anyone seen these cookies, called 'Contessa' by Bahlsen, on your grocery shelves, and would be willing to purrchase several pkgs for me. I'll pay instantly for them, shipping and your time & trouble by Paypal.

Oh, how yummy those look!
It does seem like the internationally made packaged foods sent to the US seem to be a little different than that which you'd buy right in the country of orgin. I hope someone in Germany can get these for you, Bobbie!

Looks like leibkuchen, but not heart shaped, hope someone can hunt some down for you.  We do get things like leibkuchen here, but nothing like that size.

Bobbie - I'll have a look tomorrow.........not being  a sweet-toothed person (!) I tend not to notice biscuits and such - but the shops are FULL of Xmas stuff.....
I'll get back to you

Check World Market. I know these were on the shelf last season.  I haven't been there yet this season so I don' t know if they have them again, but they are on their website as "in store only" products.

No problem, tell me if you still need the cookies. In Germany, they are available in every supermarket  !

Yes, they are at World Market. I saw them yesterday. If you are still interested and don't have one close to you, I don't mind picking up some and mailing them to you.
