Category: Christmas Cookies
One of my favorite things to bake is Christmas cookies. Taking the time to relax and make something delicious to share with neighbors makes my heart smile.
Bring some Latin flavors to your Christmas table with these delicious chocolate dulce de leche empanadas. {updated post from 2016} I’ve been thinking about baking Christmas cookies with some ingredients that we have here in Paraguay. As I mentioned before, baking Christmas cookies is not a Paraguayan or Bolivian custom. Thinking about that, dulce de […]
So excited to be a part of this food advent calendar – “spice it up!”. I really enjoy learning and trying new recipes, and this food advent calendar does that. Starting tomorrow, December 1st., we´ll be going to different kitchens, in different countries, trying new Christmas recipes. What is an advent calendar? The Advent or […]
These cookies are crispy and chewy. A touch of cardamom makes them a special treat. Cardamom is not a spice that I grew up with. Once married, my husband introduced me to Indian food, and with it came cardamom. It can be found ground or whole seeds (inside a pod). I usually buy both and […]
These cookies are crispy, tender, melt in your mouth. With subtle almond flavor. They are perfect with a cup of tea. Every Christmas I try to make this recipe. It’s a bit more expensive than other recipes because it has cream cheese, but the cookies come out so tender, that it’s worth those extra cents. […]
These cookies have a lot going on. Brown butter, caramel, and a hint of coffee flavor in every bite. I recently discovered this technique of browning butter before using it in cakes or cookies, and the truth is that I fell in love with the taste it gives baked goods. The taste is like caramel, […]

Although I didn’t grow up baking Christmas cookies, is something I enjoy doing now. The summer in Paraguay discourages me to bake, but the joy of making cookies and sharing them with friends […]
Para estas galletitas rueditas usé la masa de las “galletitas navideñas”. Es una masa muy versátil, se puede cambiar tanto el sabor como el color y todavía tener una galletita suave y crocante. Esta masa por su poco contenido de grasa, hace que las galletitas mantengan su forma aún en nuestro calor paraguayo! I used […]
La cobertura de azúcar que se le agrega a estas galletitas de jengibre y canela antes de hornear, le añaden un mágico crujiente y por dentro es un equilibrio perfecto entre lo suave y cremoso (1). El sabor del jengibre en las galletitas se intensifica más al sumergirlas en algún líquido, yo prefiero un té […]
Menta y chocolate es una combinación que me gusta mucho. La masa de la galletita no es muy dulce, el relleno le complementa muy bien. Si van a congelar las galletitas, hay que congelarlas sin el relleno. Cuando deseen servirlas, las sacan del congelador por unos 15 minutos y luego se rellenan.Espero que les guste!Mint […]
