It’s time to think about Christmas cookies, right? The Christmas season starts soon – well, in stores it already started some weeks ago ;) The 1st Advent is not far, so let’s talk Christmas cookies, shall we?! Are you the “classic type” that prefers old-fashioned cookies or do you also try “new things” like these Gingerbread Fruit Cake Cookies? If you just said “no” you should think again… these cookies are really delicious ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! I got some delicious chunky cookies for you today! Packed with chocolate chips and walnuts – I think a good treat for fall when the days are getting darker and colder… well these Chunky Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are actually nice all year round. Chocolate and walnuts are available all the time, unlike seasonal fruits and berries ;)
All Souls’ Day is not a public holiday here in Germany (well – it is a holiday, but you still have to work). In the south, the day before is a public holiday (All Saints’ Day). Anyway. Not sure how it is in other countries – many started celebrating Halloween on the 31st and that day got muuuuch bigger over the years than All Saints’ Day or All Souls’ Day together ;) In Mexico the 2nd of November is a big celebration even though it is not named All Souls’ Day – they call it “Día de los Muertos” aka. “The day of the dead”. And as you probably noticed already – I am celebrating that day this year with some special Day of the Dead Cookies… a day early though :P
Halloween is right around the corner – that means “Cookie Friday” has to pick up that topic somehow I think ;) Not everybody likes bloody things, so I decided to take the more “family-friendly” route and made Jack O’Lantern Cookies filled with Dulce de Leche that are cuter than frightening… at least in my opinion. What do you think? Baked cuteness or scary cookies?
It’s time to do some “halloween-ish” recipes! The end of October is approaching fast and I think we need some dark and disturbing bakes to celebrate Halloween! Oh well… these XXXL Double Chocolate Cookies are not that much disturbing, but definitely dark! So what do you think – are these cookies “Halloween approved”? ;)
It’s Cookie Friday and I got some – let’s say – non-traditional cookies today. Well… that is probably not the right way to phrase it. These Fig Rolls (maybe not with the added toffee) have a long tradition, of course, but they are traditionally not called cookies I guess. More like little cakes. But who cakes. I call them cookies now, so they can make an appearance here for Cookie Friday ;)
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 ;)
