Cookie Friday is a bit different today. You might have noticed that already. The recipe asks for cookies, but the result is far away from cookies today. Today it’s all about chocolate! Cookie Monster would be happy anyway about this Cookie Monster Chocolate Cookie Bark – dedicated to him! I mean… look at the color! ;)
I haven’t baked with matcha for quite some time I think. My bad. You can create really nice bakes with matcha! Especially when combined with white chocolate… mmm! The best example for this kind of combination are these Matcha White Chocolate Cookies. Who would have guessed, right?! :P
I know it’s warm outside right now (at least here in Berlin), but that does not mean you can’t bake. Cookies are the perfect sweet treat all year round ;) These ones here are made with Giotto – those little hazelnut balls with cream filling. Dunno if you heard of them. They are really nice, but I think almost only sold in Germany… even though they sound Italian ;) Well, they make a good filling for chocolate cookies anyway!
Today’s cookies are not sweet. Finally, I got some savory cookies for you again. No nuts, no chocolate – today I got some cheese for you. Shortbread Cookies with Parmesan and Thyme to be precise. Delicious, addictive cookies…
Normally I try to use only ingredients for my bakes that can be easily purchased all over the world. At least that is my goal… Sometimes you need to order some ingredients for my recipes online, but I am really trying to not use fancy-schmancy stuff you can only get in certain countries. Today is different. Sorry about that. I used butterscotch chips für these Pecan Butterscotch Cookies (the name is giving it away already) you can hardly get here in Germany. Again – sorry ;) But I might have a little tip for you how to replace them if you can’t get hold of them. I am not that mean and showing you delicious cookies and then telling you that you will never be able to recreate them :P
Today’s cookies might look a bit weird. Like sliced cooked eggs maybe :P I guess not many cookies are paired with candied fruits. Well… these Shortbread Cookies with Candied Kumquats are delicious. And special ;)
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 ;)
