wiseheartI've been chopping hazelnuts, cashews, pecans, chocolate, caramel bonbons, cranberries and candied ginger all morning. It was back-breaking after a while, but at least everything is prepared for the next 7 sorts of cookies. I might even add another one, so that I won't end up with 13 sorts at the end of the week. As a rule I'm not terribly superstitious, but these are not the times when one should invite bad luck. ;)
I also made a Shepherd's Pie for lunch, so I won't have to cook tomorrow, and after lunch Mum and I made a short food run to the Lidl at next corner, so I won't have to go shopping tomorrow, either. Free run for the baking!
And here are the first finished cookies:
From the left: macadamia cookies, banana cookies (the dead frogs got a straw hat with flowers to look better),![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spikesgirl58's double ginger cookies (disguised as spicy red apples), hazelnut cookies, peanut-chocolate cookies and, in the front, triple orange cookies. Meaning that they contain orange peels, both fresh and candied, orange aroma and real orange juice, as well as orange blossom aroma. They are even covered with orange icing and sprinkled with orange flavoured sugar. It sounds a bit much, but they really taste fantastic, for all that they look like shapeless little pancakes.
