Chocolate Filled Cocoa Sandies

Perfect little cookies for an afternoon snack in a garden. The kids would like them very much. I had to make a double dose to be enough for all of us. Little chocolate chunks wrapped in cocoa cookie dough is anything but not complicated. The recipe I have got from my friend works for years and without any changes. Milk or an orange juice goes very well with those small delicious chocolate filled buttons :-)

Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

My son adores cookies of all kinds but these are his favorites. While I was baking these cookies, he was passing through the kitchen and steeling all those milk chocolate chips so after the fifth turn I had to put them away at safe place to have enough for the cookies. :-) I have learned something... Always buy extra milk chocolate chips for your son. :-) Little pecan cookies with spots of milk chocolate chips can be stored for a week if someone doesn't eat them :-)

Polyphonic Roll Cake

This recipe is really amazing! It's a no bake roll cake with whipping base and strawberries. So much for this time of year - lite, fruity and delicious!

I have made this cake in no time but the cooling time was too long :-( so I had to cut it too soon because of the hungry eyes of my family. :-)

Norwegian Svele

I was searching for breakfast idea around the web and came across these Norwegian pancakes or svele. I had to try them out to see the difference but I came across a problem - salt of hartshorn (rising agent). OK, I said, I used baking powder instead. So, in my opinion svele has a lot of resemblance with American pancakes and you can serve them with anything you have...sweet or salty, just like pancakes.

Doughnuts Filled With Homemade Plum Jam

As my grandmother always used to say, take your time when you make doughnuts...let it bubble and rise for an hour or so in order to make lite, fluffy and soft doughnuts. Doughnuts can be filled with Jam, Nutella, all sorts of cream, even chocolate or if you like them salty, fill them with salami, cheese, ketchup - like Panzarotties. But if you consider the salty ones, please put less sugar in the dough.

Whoopie Pie - Black Moon Cake

So many times I have eaten these sweet little cakes, in so many variations, but I never tried to make them myself. The time has come, and I gathered all my patience and ingredients to do it.

The first pan full of cakes was just for laughs - all cakes different sizes :-) OK...I said, let's think. So, I took the muffin pan and the muffin papers and got the good sized little cakes.
