Gingerbreads flowers

Gingerbreads flowers

One of my favorite recipe for gingerbread cookies.

I tried the traditional American gingerbread, but that was too spicy for me. In my country Hungary, we also have a similar recipe, made with almost the same ingredients, but instead adding molasses we add honey. I combined these two recipes to get something very delicious.
I have baked and decorated many different kind of gingerbread cookies this yeas. This is one of my favorite, which will be on the donated to the Hungarian Society for their annual raffle drawing.

Valentine’s Day again?

Valentine’s Day again?

This is a gingerbread Valentine’s Day cookie – red and white, where I tried to incorporate some traditional Hungarian motives. There is just a little bit of icing on it. Only the decoration. The red is applied directly to the surface of the cookie.

My gingerbread recipe is a different from the traditional once. It is a great combination of a Hungarian honey bread recipe and the traditional american gingerbread.  It  is less spicy but has all the flavor. Those who do not like traditional gingerbread love these.

Decorated Mermaid Cookies

Decorated Mermaid Cookies

A mother ordered the Pirate cookies for his sons party but he also had a little sister. She wanted to please her as well and asked me if I can come up with some mermaid cookies for her. And that was the birth of the decorated mermaid cookies.
Sure I could! I love special orders, it just helps me to try something new and fun. Like the these here. I used the same colors as I used on the Treasure map and that help to pull the theme together.

Birthday puzzle cookies

Birthday puzzle cookies

I tried to make a birthday puzzle cookie for a friend. Also added a dozen of  small heart shaped cookies for fun and for munching.
That is my first attempt do to a puzzle cookie, which is not easy because the dough I was using spread a little. Not much but enough that the edges wont fit. So I had to cut them straight.
Since them I found a great recipe on LilaLoa blog that just great for this this kind of cookies, because the cookie does not increase at all.

Spring is in the air!

Spring is in the air!

But there is still some snow outside. 🙁

 
These were created for donation for a local Hungarian party. We still have snow outside, but I just felt the urge to work with some bright colors, and I hope the winners of this plate will also appreciate it.
