I don't think so, since the dough is very different. Amerikaner are not made
of cookie dough, but of a special mix that used to incorporate ammonium
carbonate. It's more like a thick doughnut batter that is baked rather than
fried. I'll rummage around for the recipe.

Hi Gabriele  and Ron,
All the bakeries in Flanders sell "Boules de
Berlin"(Berliner/Berliijnse bollen). According to the traditions,only
on wednesdays. I think it has something to do with the war, but i'm not
sure.
It is a round sort of a cake with confectionerscream.
