Cooking and baking has always been a fun hobby that I have enjoyed immensely. I am an average cook that loves to experiment with cooking healthy meals. I enjoy baking, just simply because I am addicted to chocolate, and for me a lovely pastry with coffee, and tea is a trip to heaven and backβΊοΈ

This year, more than ever in my life π₯ I have been cooking and baking for my family, and now for holidays I have decided to bake new goodies and find my new favorites.
I started with :

Pizzelle π©π»βπ³ every Christmas we enjoy eating these lovely lightly sweet giant snow flakes all day long when we travel to see grandparents. This Christmas I had to bake our own batch π³ I pulled out my pizzelle maker which I had received years ago as a Christmas gift, and used grandmasβs recipe. After a couple of tries they came out perfect snow flakes π

Italian wedding cookies π©π»βπ³ they are made with crushed almonds, and coated with powder sugar, and look like small snow balls. They are beautiful to look at, and are lightly sweet, and believe me when I say π€£ you canβt stop at just one.

Cranberry bars π©π»βπ³ using leftover cranberry sauce from thanksgiving meal, I baked these thick delicious bars with two flaky layers of dough, cushioning a layer of my chunky cranberry sauce, and a layer of walnuts. I am already thinking of making more of these bars with almonds. This is my absolute new favorite π

Peppermint bars π©π»βπ³ I have always bought them as gifts for friends, and loved having them during holidays. This year never found the time to purchase them on time, so I decided to make some. Couldnβt perfectly layer the white chocolate over the dark chocolate, but the result was a swirl of dark and white with crushed peppermints that made little ones very happy to crush and spread over the baking dish. Easy, fun to make, and very delicious. Next time I will make it thinner, so it would be easier to cut, and I have more to eatπ
