Snow covered Greek Christmas Cookies.

Heyy there,

I hope you are all getting ready for the Christmas Holiday.  🙂  This is a re-post of last year’s Christmas Cookies recipe.  These Snow covered Butter Cookies are delicious with a nice warm cup of White Hot Chocolate.    I will post over the weekend. 🙂 

Have a great day everyone!!

 

Hello there!!  I hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas with family and friends. 🙂  My mom is visiting for the holidays. We were up early this morning, had our coffee and went straight for the kitchen. to start baking.  Since we only make these cookies one a year we always prepare an extra batch for after Christmas.  It never seems to be enough. 

The first batch and placed them on my dining table, and by noon my husband had eaten a few more than he should have  🙂 but that’s ok because we are still in the holiday mood.  If you love sugar-coated, almond tasty cookies you need to try these cookies!!  They are soft and flavored with Cognac and stuffed with baked almonds. 

We had finished baking, coating by mid-afternoon and we are done for this year 🙂  Another year is coming to an end in a few days, and for my family and some of my friends it was a difficult one, but this is what life is all about.  Ups and Downs and dealing with the obstacles that life throws your way.  Right??  I am sure you agree with me 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
