The Christmas season is the time for many traditional sweet treats – from Christmas cookies to cakes and desserts. I am a big fan of cakes (of course) but for Christmas, I actually prefer making cookies. Simple and easy stuff you can nibble on for days. For all coconut (flavor) fans out there I got a delicious treat: Coconut Snowball Cookies. So good!
A lot of people like to decorate their homes for Halloween. And whose fault is it? The Americans ;P Even though I like Halloween – there are no decorations happening in our house. Maybe a pumpkin on the terrace. That’s all. But I like to bake spooky and tasty stuff for Halloween ;) Something like these delicious Black ‘n’ White Halloween Cookies…
As far as baking goes, I’m a huge Halloween nerd. I just love spilling berry juice all over the place for this “holiday” so everything looks like it’s been smeared with blood. I’m not a fan of Halloween parties, I don’t like dressing up for Halloween and horror movies aren’t really my thing either…. but fake “blood” everywhere me likey like! Is that weird? ;P
Can I be honest with you? I think Biscoff cookies are terrible! Why? Because they are soo delicious! Sounds like a clickbait title, but it’s true ;) The cookies taste like caramel and are super tasty, but thanks to all that added sugar they have, they are really not good for me (as a diabetic). I really have to hold myself back here. Same for this delicious Biscoff Cheesecake here. I would love to jump right in and eat it completely by myself… but no. Not possible ;P
I haven’t made cookies for the blog for quite some time now. I think we should change that right now. Well, guess what… I got a fresh batch of good-looking cookies today ;) Delicious Oatmeal Maple Pecan Cookies fresh from the oven. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. As if it was “Cookie Friday” once again. Feel free to grab one ;)
If you want to eat a bit healthier, you should include foods in your diet on a regular basis that are good for your body. Stuff that contains lots of vitamins and minerals and stuff that’s good for your digestive system. A happy stomach and digestive system equals a happy (hopefully healthy) body ;) This means you should eat lots of fruits and veggies but also legumes and oats, for example. Even though oatmeal can be good for your body, these cookies are not quite a “healthy” snack I’d say. But they are better than most cookies from the supermarket though. Not only flavorwise :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 ;)
