I’ve been making different variations of truffles for Christmas for a few years now. They are easy to prepare, usually don´t require a lot of ingredients, and they disappear at the speed of light during Christmas. I always take one when I walk by, then I don’t even know how and they’re gone. Maybe it’s because they have a perfect…

It may be early for some, just right time for others, but we have already experienced the first snow of this year, so why not also the first recipe for Christmas cookies. Plus, these cookies don’t even have to appear Christmassy. They come in handy when you have leftover egg whites and don’t know what to do with them. Coconut…

What would Christmas be without Linzer cookies. However, rather than the traditional “ordinary” version with jam, I like variations of them. There’s already Lemon Linzer with Lemon Curd on the blog that’s been quite popular, so I figured it was about time for a new variation. Cocoa Linzer Cookies with Orange Ganache consist of soft cocoa dough and ganache made…

Just a month and it’s here. If you’re already looking for new recipes for Christmas, a recipe for cookies might come in handy. After all, there’s never enough cookies for Christmas and you can make them ahead of time. These Marble Vanilla Cocoa Cookies are simple, easy to make, with a small amount of ingredients, and the immortal combination of…

I think that no-bake truffles of any kind are a traditional part of the Christmas table. I try to vary them almost every year since there are so many possibilities. I’m a chocoholic with all my heart so I can´t imagine Christmas without at least one chocolate dessert. This time, I used chocolate in chocolate truffles, then I added gingerbread spice…

What kind of Christmas it would be without traditional Linzer Cookies on the table? Since the recipe for traditional Linzer cookies, just filled with salted caramel, is already on the blog, I decided to change them a bit and add lemon zest into regular dough. I also wanted soft lemon filling so I chose lemon curd. This way, Lemon Linzer…

Although it is not December yet, but a new recipe on the blog is added only once every two weeks, why not start already with ideas for Christmas baking. I bet some of you are already thinking about the right cookies for the Christmas table. And you can easily bake “not filled cookies” in advance and they will be still…

Chocolate cups are an inseparable part of Christmas cookies in many households. Chocolate cups filled with walnut filling are a traditional Slovak Christmas dessert but I don´t like this filling so I made them my way and created Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cups. Quality dark chocolate together with coconut oil ensures a lovely color, taste and just the right crispiness…

Christmas time is here. Christmas songs are playing in a radio for a week now and people are starting to bake. Since I like a gingerbread taste but traditional gingerbread man cookies not so much, I decided to make Stamped Gingerbread Cookies. Stamped cookies are quite a hit for some time now and you can even find embossed rolling pin…

Today, untraditionally, I add a recipe on Saturday. Since I´m going to bake something savoury for New Year´s Eve tomorrow, I thought that today is better – one can be inspired, bake tomorrow and he/she still has some time until Monday 😀 For those who are fed up with Christmas sweets, New Year´s Eve is a rescue, sweet changes to…

I passed my last school exam, I can finally profit from Christmas atmosphere. Christmas tree is decorated, almost everything is baked (I still have one cake and one filling to do), so the only thing left to do is to put my feet up and not to care about anything, at least not until tomorrow 😀 This cozy Christmas atmosphere…

Only one week left. I admit that I haven´t baked anything yet, not a single thing 😀 I have my last exam on Wednesday, only then I can fully bake, decorate a Christmas tree, a house and profit from Christmas mood. For the first time in 5 years of my university study, I won´t have to study for anything during…

Although Christmas baking is mainly about cookies, I´m sure you also bake one or two creamy cakes. Moreover, what´s more Christmas-y than the smell of gingerbread. I combined gingerbread with traditional American recipe for Red Velvet and made Christmas Gingerbread Red Velvet Bars. The dessert Red Velvet is known for its fluffiness, red color and mascarpone or cream cheese and…

December is here, not only calendar, but also weather, says that. I hope that it will get wiser and there won´t be -15 Celsius degrees during a night anymore, I am not used to this kind of chilly weather. The best thing to do in such weather is to tuck up in a blanket with hot chocolate, a laptop on…

Here we are, December 24. Firstly, I´d like to wish you Merry Christmas, pleasant atmosphere around Christmas tree and also lack of stress, I think we had enough of it so far. Secondly, new recipe is here. Not for a cake, as usually, since you have probably been eating cakes and cookies for few days until now, but for a…

If Christmas, then coconut. The time until Christmas is growing shorter, even radios talk only about Christmas and they are playing Christmas carols all the time. Don´t get me wrong, I like Christmas, but if I should listen to them 2 weeks before it, I would just end up fed up with them. What´s a lot is a lot. I…

Here comes Christmas baking. I bet that you´re already thinking hardly what to bake for Christmas. I am. I hope that these Orange Shortbread Stamped Cookies could be a small inspiration for you. If you remember the stamped madness one year ago (or maybe even two years ago), I´m still into it, but I guess not as much as I…

So December is here. The frequency of the question “have you bought everything for Christmas yet?” is rapidly increasing. And no, I haven´t, honestly, I wouldn´t even realize that some Christmas is coming if it wasn´t for all these Christmas themes everywhere. At first, I have to fight through all tests, seminar works and everything similar to these, so I…
