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’! ;)
Why not making cupcakes this year for dessert? I think that would be a good idea, don’t you think so too? I bet many people would be happy about these Gingerbread Cupcakes on the Christmas dinner table. Besides the great flavors these cupcakes are also easy to make and ideal if you want to do some of the work in advance… so I’d say it’s a win-win situation. There is so much other stuff to do around Christmas – no need to spend all the time on desserts :P
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…
Have you already decided what to cook and bake for Christmas this year? Are you more into classic dishes or can it be modern and “experimental? We haven’t decided on the main courses yet this year, but the dessert has been chosen already: Baked Apples with Marzipan will be served on one of the Christmas holiday days ;)
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 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 ;)
