I know it’s warm outside right now (at least here in Berlin), but that does not mean you can’t bake. Cookies are the perfect sweet treat all year round ;) These ones here are made with Giotto – those little hazelnut balls with cream filling. Dunno if you heard of them. They are really nice, but I think almost only sold in Germany… even though they sound Italian ;) Well, they make a good filling for chocolate cookies anyway!
Today’s cookies are not sweet. Finally, I got some savory cookies for you again. No nuts, no chocolate – today I got some cheese for you. Shortbread Cookies with Parmesan and Thyme to be precise. Delicious, addictive cookies…
Normally I try to use only ingredients for my bakes that can be easily purchased all over the world. At least that is my goal… Sometimes you need to order some ingredients for my recipes online, but I am really trying to not use fancy-schmancy stuff you can only get in certain countries. Today is different. Sorry about that. I used butterscotch chips für these Pecan Butterscotch Cookies (the name is giving it away already) you can hardly get here in Germany. Again – sorry ;) But I might have a little tip for you how to replace them if you can’t get hold of them. I am not that mean and showing you delicious cookies and then telling you that you will never be able to recreate them :P
Today’s cookies might look a bit weird. Like sliced cooked eggs maybe :P I guess not many cookies are paired with candied fruits. Well… these Shortbread Cookies with Candied Kumquats are delicious. And special ;)
Sometimes you got to try new things. In case of baking and cooking, it means trying flavor combinations you haven’t tried yet. Exhibit A: these Tahini Pistachio Cookies! Delicious little fellas, I did not think would taste as good as they actually taste ;) The first bite made it clear – these cookies are extremely delicious!
Are you a fan of peanut butter or do you hate it? I think peanut butter has either fans or hater – there is not much in between. The ones allergic to it maybe though I think they are probably more on the “I hate peanut butter side” ;P In our house everybody is fine with peanut butter, even our French bulldog Bruno likes it ;)
Our little puppy will not get any of these Peanut Butter Cookies though. They are not made for dogs – even though they are kind of healthy. Just not for puppies ;)
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 ;)
