The ingenious spicy version of the cookies in the Chef’s Handyman recipe blog is the tasty answer to the sweets.
The next Chef’s Handyman posts in the recipe blog will contain different new and classic cookie recipes and spices. Ingenious spicy baking recipes from my cooking recipe box will be published. New ideas, food combinations and impressions will be collected in my recipe box. When themes have to be prepared than these ideas will be transformed into new cooking recipes. For all my ad hoc notes I do carry my black box with me. Of course a very old fahioned way to write ideas down. But I like this shabby old book.
Fall is over and the winter is on the doorstep. The whole house will be surrounded by the fragrance of fresh cookies out of the oven. I like this period. To sit next to the fireplace having a cup of tea or coffee with some delicious cookies to taste! It feels so cozy. It’s a bit like heaven on earth. Most people like the sweets. Why not salty or spicy cookies for tea or coffee time? These cookies with rosemary, chili, pecans and lemon are multifunctional…., they can be served for tea and for aperitif as well. That’s the reason, why I like them so much.
