One last cookie recipe for Cookie Friday before Christmas! It’s about time to get everything done and ready for the holidays, right? These Cinnamon Spice Stars are quick and easy to prepare – so if you need something last minute, these little stars are definitely something you could do. If you like the cinnamon flavor, you can make them actually all year round. They are not specifically for Christmas. Just sayin’! ;)
These Christmas cookies today are something my grandma would have never made. Not because she did not like Hazelnut Christmas Cookies – she did not know what vegan means ;) Back when she was still with us she did not know anybody living on a vegan diet (yes – that was quite a while ago). Neither did I back then ;) Well… things change and many things that were not vegan back then are vegan now. Including Christmas cookies like these here. Not a big deal anymore. Baking does not always require products from animals…
What would you say if we have a little glass of liquor along with today’s Cookie Friday cookies? Can’t hurt, right?! I mean… the weekend almost started. Come on! ;) Maybe some liquor in the cookies as well? That would be even better. Luckily I am a forward-thinking baker and got that covered already. These little Chocolate Snowballs got some Baileys* inside ;)
Christmas is coming and I made a little list with my favorite German Christmas cookies. Everybody has his/her personal favorites – maybe because he/she had it in their childhood or just because they taste delicious. My list is a mix of recipes I know for quite some time and is circulating in my family for ages… and some are “new stuff” I discovered not too long ago. Because? ALL DELICIOUS! ;)
I think I almost killed some snowmen today. I actually wanted to make Cookies for Cookie Friday with nice good looking snowmen on top, but somehow they started to melt… no idea why?! Maybe it’s the climate change? But no… Trump says that is fake new :P Well… I guess we have to live with these half-melted Snowman Cookies. Still good!
Cheers! Don’t worry I haven’t started to drink while I am writing recipes and articles, either did I develop such a habit while baking ;) But there is a reason for the “cheers” – the new Tullamore D.E.W XO plays an important part in these Caribbean inspired Shortbread today, so I guess you can serve a glass with it. Right?! Well then… cheers again!
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 ;)
