Vegan Hazelnut Christmas Cookies

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…

Baked Apples with Marzipan and Pecans

Christmas, Dessert, Sponsored No Reply

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 ;)

Chocolate Snowballs with Baileys

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 ;)

The 10 Best German Christmas Cookies

Christmas, Cookies No Reply

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! ;)

Do you need an idea for a nice Christmas treat maybe? Something besides the typical Christmas Cookies? Well… what about some cupcakes? X-Mas Cupcakes with Christmas Lights? I think they are a great fit for any gathering with friends or family this time of year. Why don’t you grab some m&m’s and we can get started…? ;)

(Global Warming) Snowman Cookies

Christmas, Cookies No Reply

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!
