Happy Cookie Friday and (also) Happy Chinese New Year! Both happen on the same day this year. To honor both events I made some Chinese Almond Cookies today. They are not only delicious – these cookies are supposed to bring you luck. That’s what they say. I hope that’s true… after 2020 aka. “The year of the rat”, some luck would be nice for 2021 ;)
What can I say – Cantuccini definitely belong on the list of my favorite cookies. These crunchy cookies packed with almonds and great flavors are super delicious! Not only along with a cappuccino in the afternoon – I can eat these cookies all day long and if you give me access to the cookies I WILL eat them all day long ;P
The “12 Days of Christmas Cookies” continue – today with sweet little Almond Bear Paws. Ok… they are actually not that small, but definitely smaller than the original paws on an original bear. Not that big, but definitely easier and safer to eat ;P
Christmas season finally arrived! Halloween is in the past, Thanksgiving is history and the pumpkin season is officially over (at least for me). To make sure you have enough ideas and recipes for upcoming Christmas baking sessions I am starting a little Christmas Cookies event today called “12 Days of Christmas Cookies”. This means there will be a lot of fresh cookie recipes coming up until Christmas. Delicious treats to fill your cookie jars – if your family and friends are as greedy as mine, you probably have to bake a lot until Christmas, so these recipes will help you a lot probably ;) Let’s start with a Christmas cookie classic: Frankfurter Bethmännchen – sweet little bites that everyone loves.
Happy Cookie Friday! Today’s recipe is an easy one. No baking needed here. These cookies require much less work than other cookies I got here on the blog… even though my cookie recipes are normally not complicated at all ;P Well, these No-Bake Amaranth White Chocolate Cookies are a quick fix for your next craving for sweet stuff. They are also sugar-free… did I mention that already?! Well…now you know! ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! It was time once more to heat up the oven and bake some delicious cakes. Today I got some simple and easy Almond Cookies for you – baked without any flour, so these little fellas are gluten-free. In case there is a shortage of flour again in the future you can bake these cookies without any problems and got a sweet snack ready in no time. You never know. Lockdown Part 2… ;)
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 ;)
