If someone were to ask me “Which Christmas cookies are you having a hard time saying no to?” – well the answer would be clear: these Classic Florentines here! Since I made them for the first time, I’ve been addicted to them hardcore. Super delicious, sweet, chocolaty, fruity…. just the perfect combination!
It’s time again for a small change, no Christmas cookies today – we got enough of those the past few weeks. Today I got some nice supersized brownies for you. Delicious chocolaty sugar bombs that got a little Christmas upgrade. One of these XXL Christmas Brownies might be too much for one person – even for hardcore sugar and chocolate maniacs, but you can always share on of these brownies… as we all know “sharing is caring!” – especially around Christmas ;)
Black ‘n’ White Christmas Cookies are pretty common here in Germany I’d say. A classic Christmas cookie so to speak. They look great and people are normally impressed when you present them along with other homemade cookies at a Christmas gathering. Nevertheless, these cookies were on my baking Christmas baking list year after year but I never made them because I always thought they were too much work and too complicated to prepare. Well… after making them once (finally), I realized I was completely wrong ;P
Today’s Christmas cookies for my “12 Days of Christmas Cookies” are clearly influenced by the Brits! Delicious Ginger Christmas Cookies – very simple and easy to prepare and perfect for some dipping action… tea, hot apple cider, or whatever. I am sure the Queen would approve and do the same if I send her a small box with these cookies… don’t you think? ;)
The “12 Days of Christmas Cookies” continues – who would have thought of that seeing these Classic Christmas Hazelnut Macaroons, right? ;) One of my favorite Christmas cookie bakes because I looooove me some hazelnuts. They should be on every baking list for Christmas… right next to Vanilla Crescents and Cinnamon Stars. Just saying ;)
I was just about to write “Happy Halloween”, but that’s been over for a while now… Happy Advent then! ;) This blog will serve you a lot of Christmas cookies until Christmas – to prevent you from getting a sugar shock you don’t have to eat today’s cookies. You can use this Gingerbread Cookie Wreath for Christmas decorations instead! How about that? Baking your decorations instead of buying it? ;)
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 ;)
