Milanais cookies

It's cold and windy, the cats running around an apartment like crazy. I try to find a reason just to turn the oven on. I baked so many cookies this year that I think cookies are not an option.  The reason why I actually have this dilemma is that today is a beginning of my …

Serinakaker – Norwegian Christmas cookies

I was looking for cookies recipes. I've even created a special board on Pintrest. I also found a new blog with loads of cookie recipes.

Lebkuchen – German gingerbread cookies

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas! Yes, it's finally December!

Chrusty, chrusciki, faworki, angel wings

Ok, so I told you about Polish doughnuts. They are the most important part of the Fat Thursday, but there is something more. Something you can't buy at a bakery. OK, you can, but it's very, very hard to find ones that taste good. I'm talking about faworki or chrusty or chrusciki the name differs …
