Some call it Rice Crispy Treats...

... others the biggest sugar high a 2-year old can get within 30 minutes.

For all the fellow Nutella-lovers out there

I know you will appreciate this one.


Nutella Christmas cookies

175g flour
1 tsp baking powder
75g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
50g butter, softened
50g Nutella, softened + additional Nutella for the filling

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In small bowl combine flour and baking powder. In separate bowl beat sugar and butter until creamy. Mix in Nutella, egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and baking powder and mix on high until dough is smooth. Wrap in foil and refrigerate for about 30min. Roll out on floured surface and cut out different sized shapes (heart, stars, etc.) Bake cookies for about 8-10 min. Let cool.
Stack 2 or 3 cookies on top of each other, using the additional Nutella as glue. Dust with powdered sugar.

Russian Dolls

Knock, knock, knock

Looks like some people in our house must have been damn good this past year, since St. Nikolaus decided to stop by and drop-off some treats. While Ava of course loved her candy and toys, the real surprise was, that apparently even St. Nikolaus agrees, that using toilet paper as a substitute for a bookmark is NOT a good idea. At all. Thanks, St. Nikolaus for putting and end to that and bringing by some shiny, new bookmarks!

What a transformation!

Stockings

I got the idea for stockings like these when I saw something similar on etsy. Even though I liked the way they looked, they were just a bit too edgy for my taste. So there was just one solution: I had to come up with my own version: Modern, clean but still a bit earthy
