I’ve probably said it a hundred times already – I love cookies! They are the best! That’s why I got almost 400 cookie recipes here on the blog already and there is a new one coming pretty much every week. These Chunky Nutty Double Chocolate Cookies are the 398th recipe (as of May 2024) that made its way onto the blog, if I’m not mistaken. That’s quite a lot, isn’t it?! Nevertheless, there are many more recipes to come. For sure ;P
Sometimes things have to happen quick – that applies to baking as well. Nobody has an infinite amount of time at their disposal, so it’s always good to have a few quick and easy cookie recipes up your sleeve, right? Delicious and Easy Hazelnut Butter Cookies, for example. They are in the oven in no time and just as quickly out and on the plate. Definitely a recipe for hazelnut fans to try!
If you like cookies with nuts, you will probably love these Swiss Nut Bars (aka. Schweizer Nuss-Stängeli). In Switzerland, you can get these cookies in many supermarkets – I always brought some back from Migros when I was visiting my hometown. I am pretty sure if you start selling these in Germany (or any other country) they would have much more fans compared to now. Well… luckily you can bake them at home as well ;P
Lebkuchen (aka. Gingerbread) is an absolute classic for Advent and Christmas. The best-known example in this category is probably Elisenlebkuchen. Delicious Lebkuchen that is made without flour. These Mini Elisenlebkuchen (from Nuremberg) are very popular here in our home because they are so small and a great snack in between meals – I know you shouldn’t snack too much but who cares around Christmas ;)
A coffee date without a coffee cake? Impossible, right?! When I meet with friends or family for a coffee I always need something to snack along with the coffee. It does not matter if we meet somewhere outside or at home – snacks are necessary. In a coffee shop, you can normally buy something. If I have someone over I feel obligated to serve something homemade. Not a problem with this Hazelnut & Almond Streusel Coffee Cake. So easy to prepare and really delicious! You guests will love it!
If you’re a fan of Biscoff cookies – this one is for you: Hazelnut Biscoff Chocolate Chip Cookies! Monster cookies that will make every cookie monster very happy ;) Big delicious cookies with great hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate flavors. Sounds like a delicious combination, doesn’t it?! These cookies may not be the healthiest cookies or low in calories, but sometimes that’s ok. You can always indulge yourself if you do not overdo it ;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 ;)
