The Christmas Cookies 2015 and the first snow

by | Nov 23, 2015

Baking the christmas cookies and snow outside the window, what more could you want.

This weekend, the first snow has fallen in many parts of Germany. Also here in Hamburg there were plenty snow. It looked some times like Hamburg would sink beneath a thick blanket of snow. But only a fraction of the whole snow has remained, and the next day everything was almost gone.

So does it really well fitted that the baking of Christmas cookies was on the plan this weekend. From a pair of Christmas cookies it become again too many. But since you have this in your mind, that idea and whoosh it became 12 varieties and a modification. Luckily I have the quantities reduced and there are at least not become a vast amount of cookies.

Today there are only a foretaste of what awaits you here every day for the next three weeks. I can only say that some are delicious and others look very funny. Of course once again I have some combinations what nobody would have expected. So much fun to bake.

Bacon Cookies with Guinness – hearty and sweet!

by | Okt 18, 2015

Bacon Cookies with Guinness sounds a little strange, but they are absolutely delicious.

Today follows the promised recipe for Bacon Cookies with Guinness, after the peanut butter cookies yesterday. At first it sounds pretty weird at once to make in a cookie Bacon. But Bacon goes very well together with the sugar and therefore there is the Bacon today in cookies. The whole is rounded off with some beer and chocolate and finished are great cookies.

With caramelize the Bacon there is a step more in the recipe which already takes some time to complete. But it is worth it!

Of course, all is not for vegans or vegetarians, Sorry. 😉
