Happy Cookie Friday!
It’s the time of the week again… have you asked yourself what kind of cookies this week will come up? ;) Last week I made delicious cookies with white chocolate and Amarena cherries. So good. This time it’s a slightly larger cookie. Or let’s say a large cookie cut into slices… like a pizza. A cookie pizza maybe? Nope. No pizza, but nice shortbread cookies with grapefruit and red pepper :)
Some time ago I already baked with Amarena cherries – delicious but really “heavy” Hi-Hat Cupcakes with Amarena Cherry Filling. Not really heavy in terms of “you can’t lift them” but you know, very sweet and loads of calories. Something to enjoy… and to go an extra mile afterward :P This time I used those little sweet and sticky cherries to make cookies. Really good cookies to be precise…
Have you ever tried or baked something with lavender? Yes, I mean the cute purple flowers with that awesome smell. The ones you can use to make soap or to get rid of moths in your wardrobe ;)
Lavender is probably not everybody’s favorite ingredient when it comes to baking, even though you can make really nice stuff with it! For example these delicious Lavender Cookies!
What is your opinion about rhubarb? Yay or nay? Do you like it? Well… I am a big fan of it. Huge fan. The biggest fan in the world (would Trump say I suppose). No really – I like it a lot ;) You could say “Rhubarb was my first love”… and then came raspberries. That is one reason, why I am using it right now as often as possible. The rhubarb season is short, so (almost) every day has to be used to make something with it! Cakes, bread, scones, dumplings… everything tastes better with some rhubarb. So does this layered dessert with chocolate biscotti and a rhubarb-raspberry compote!
There is one thing you should have for every brunch or breakfast with friends or family. A simple yeast loaf or brioche! This delicious bake can be eaten only with butter for example or with Nutella or sweet marmalade – even cold cuts work fine! The “one-for-all-bake” I’d say ;)
I have something very special for you today! It is unbelievable. There is nothing better than these Deep Fried Candy Bars. They are the best! I mean nothing is better than me, but these are really good! I heard Meryl Streep makes them too, but those are definitely some of the most over-rated deep fried candy bars in Hollywood!
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 ;)
