Yesterday I spent the day with my friend baking cookies! We had a great time sharing recipes and tasting!
I tried the Orange Coconut Macaroons, posted a few days ago. This was my mother's recipe and the first time I made it. GREAT! A must try! Also it is so fast to make. I used organic unsweetened coconut flakes and it was plenty sweet! The tiny pieces of almond paste gives a great taste mixture. So hard to describe, you must try it yourself.
I also had a package of spice mix for German spice cake. I didn't feel like making a cake so my friend found a recipe for ginger cookies. We replaced the powdered ginger with the package of spices, still used chopped pieces of ginger candy, and came out with yummy cookies. I will get the recipe from her and find a source for the spices, then I will publish the recipe. Watch for it!
Also made a German cookie called Fluchtlings Pletzchen. Once I translate the grams to ounces, I'll publish this too.
Hope you are all enjoying the holiday baking and we can all share new memories in 2010.
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
