It’s Friday again and you know what this means: I’ve got cookies for you! Yay! Not for everybody though. It seems I got carried away when they were cooling down on the wire rack… not all of them made it to the photo shooting for the pictures you can see here. Some survived, so grab a cookie. First come, first serve ;)
Macaroons are something we always had for Christmas in many different versions at home – with hazelnuts, coconut flakes or almonds, with marzipan, chocolate and other “enhancements” ;) At some point, these little fellas were replaced on the Christmas-baking-to-do-list by other cookies, new ones that needed to be tested. This year I finally made some macaroons again – almond macaroons. A very good decision ;)
Have you ever heard of Marzipan Almond Crescents? I mean the name says it all, but have you tried something like that? It’s awesome delicious! Really. If you had one, you want them all. That’s the reason, why I am making them not very often. Too dangerous :P
These delicious sandwich cookies with a nut nougat filling and caramelized almonds almost did not make it to the blog (on time). I was reaaaaaaally late for my recipe and blog post for the “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” event with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. I was really close to publishing “plan B”… but fortunately, I managed to get everything done in time.
Which Christmas cookies are your favorite cookies? Cinnamon stars? Vanilla crescents? Or maybe sandwich cookies? There are sooooo many to choose from! ;) I always have problems deciding what to take when offered a variety of Christmas cookies. Of course, I always take at least one of each (if nobody sees me). When it comes to Christmas cookies, I really like the ones with a filling a lot. Jam filling?! OMG. So good! I guess you know now, why I made these Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies ;)
Today’s recipe for #CookieFriday is not really a “classic” cookie recipe. Actually not a cookie recipe at all, but these Caramel Nut Clusters are small, sweet and delicious. I think they fit for #CookieFriday… somehow. Who cares – they are delicious. That’s all that counts! :P
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 ;)
