If you are a fan of coconut, you might like these Coconut Macaroons with Toffifay – they are definitely popular with folks around here. Light and airy, with a sweet and chewy center. If you don’t know what’s hidden in these little clouds, you’re sure to be delighted with the little surprise. ;)
When it comes to baking Christmas cookies, many people make plans in advance on what to bake. It’s no different here. Sometimes you need a batch of cookies a bit more spontaneously… maybe because most of them have already been eaten, or you have a surprise visitor coming. These simple Spritz Cookies aka. German Spritzgebäck are perfect for such occasions. The preparation of these cookies is super easy and the result is really delicious! All we want for Christmas, right?! ;P
I have the feeling that everyone already knows these Super Easy Christmas Cookies aka. Vanilla Traumstücke. There are so many recipes out there for these simple cookies, I think I’ve seen hundreds of recipes over the years… but I’ve never made them myself until last year. But what can I say – they are so delicious! The question remains – why did I wait so long to bake them?! I don’t know! ;)
Christmas is the time for cookies, right? If you like to bake more often, you probably already have a list of Christmas cookie recipes you’re gonna bake over and over again. We have a list like that too, but we still try to bake something new every year. This time we made these Slice ‘n’ Bake Xmas Cookies with lots of chocolate for the first time. Super simple cookies that are easy to make and taste wonderful. Saying that… probably candidates to be made again next year! ;P
Advent is the time for Christmas cookies. There is no other time of year when people are baking more cookies. Even though you could bake many of those cookies any other day as well. I wouldn’t mind if someone served me a few of these delicious Xmas Wreath Cookies with my coffee at the height of summer. They are delicious all year round. Some people might say the decorations are too »Christmassy« for July or August. But who cares? ;P
The weeks before Christmas are the time for Christmas markets, mulled wine, bratwurst and candied almonds aka. »gebrannte Mandeln«. You can smell the nuts basically everywhere. Sooo good! Instead of just enjoying the smell of the nuts and nibbling on them, you can use them for baking as well. These Candied Almonds & Chocolate Nougat Cookies are the perfect sweet treat to use up »leftover nuts«… should there be any leftover after a visit to the Christmas market. ;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 ;)
