If a whole Christmas Stollen is too much for you, you might want to consider these Christmas Stollen Cantuccini – the miniature version of the classic Christmas treat. If you are fine with loads of candied fruits, and nuts, as well as a lot of powdered sugar and an abundance of calories… you probably gonna like these Christmas cookies. I love them and think they are a great addition to the regular Christmas cookie Lollapalooza ;)
Macarons are one of the best sweet treats I can think of! They are also my absolute nightmare. Well, almost… vegan Macarons are actually worse ;P They are really bit***s compared to these Chocolate Macarons with Hazelnut Praliné Cream. Nevertheless, I only make Macarons for special occasions and only when I’m in a good mood. Like last week. And here you can see the results… ;P
If you’re as lazy as I am (sorry, not sorry), you try to save time and avoid extra work as best as you can. No matter where. Even when baking cookies! Ok… maybe I am not really lazy… just not in the mood to do stuff several times in a row, clean up stuff several times, etc. That’s why I love me some Slice ‘n’ Bake Cookies like these here. One big bowl of dough makes two completely different batches of cookies. One batch with cashews (a bit salty) and the other batch with cranberries and some extra chocolate. That’s great, isn’t it? ;)
Brownies are something almost everyone likes. I bet these delicious Oreo Brownie Chocolates (Pralines) will get the same attention when served… probably even more ;) They are small, cute, and super chocolaty – so small nobody will notice you grabbed one from the plate with the sweets. At least that is what’s happening here at home. Gone in a hot second and never seen again. Well, unless you make another batch ;)
The Christmas season is the time for many traditional sweet treats – from Christmas cookies to cakes and desserts. I am a big fan of cakes (of course) but for Christmas, I actually prefer making cookies. Simple and easy stuff you can nibble on for days. For all coconut (flavor) fans out there I got a delicious treat: Coconut Snowball Cookies. So good!
These easy Christmas cookies have many names here in Germany: Kulleraugen, Angel Eyes, or Husarenkrapferl. English-speaking people probably know them as thumbprint cookies. Because you can make the indention for the jam with your thumb ;) Because they are so easy to make, we really love these Hazelnut Brittle Thumbprint Cookies a lot – also because they taste really nice…
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
