{Momofuku Peanut Butter Cookies} – Fursecuri cu unt de arahide
The fact that I love Momofuku recipes is no surprise to anyone. But it’s been a while since my last try at baking one of Christina’s recipes and I was starting to miss her style a little bit, even though she does use a lot of sugar. However, her recipes have a charm that I…
{Butter Spritz Cookies} – Fursecuri cu unt si ciocolata
Cookies have never been my strongest side so to speak, I used to hate making them a few years back, not knowing then what I know now, not having enough patience perhaps and not being as open as I am today. But I am trying to recover from such a mistake – I do have…
{Chocolate Caramel Cookies} – Fursecuri cu ciocolata si caramel
Life can only be delightful when you have a pastry chef in the house! That would be everyone’s picture of the whole thing. Truth is however that I rarely get to bake something for my family nowadays. It’s like the seamstress who doesn’t have a dress. People always say “ah, what a lucky family you…
{Gingerbread House} – Casuta de turta dulce
I haven’t grown up with gingerbread around Christmas, it is something that I found later on as I started baking. My first every gingerbread house happened when my little man was 2-year old. He is 8 now and we have established making a gingerbread house as a rule in the house for Christmas. We bake…

2017 is upon us, but I still have recipes from last year to catch up on. Now I’m not one to bake cookies too often, but I’ve baked so many this year! Some were older recipes, like my all time favorite chocolate chip cookie or the delicious chocolate spritz cookies of Pierre Herme, but some,…
{Dried Fruit Biscotti} – Biscotti cu fructe uscate
I’ve not always been a cookie lover. I used to avoid baking them, thinking that they are a bit too simple to make. Now, to be fully honest, there was a time in my life when I really needed a challenge, I needed complex recipes, I needed to learn. Now that the process is going…
{Lemon Madeleines} – Madlene cu lamaie
Madeleines are tiny cake-like cookies with a distinctive shell shape. They’ve been given this name by king Louis XV to honor his father in-law’s cook Madeleine Paulmier. Louis taste these cookies at the Chateau Commercy in 1755, but it was his wife, Marie who introduced them to the court. Everyone loved them so they soon…

I have a weakness for peanut butter, who doesn’t?!?! The flavor it gives to baked goodies is amazing and the aroma that floods the house is delightful. So no wonder that I loved making and baking these Peanut Butter Kisses. They are not just gorgeous, but also slightly crisp on the outside and a bit…
