Hello all, Iris here! Today I have some yummy recipe to share with you and also a card I made! But before I continue let's congratulate ScrappyAndrea
who was randomly drawn from yesterdays entries! Congratulations -
Herzlichen Glueckwunsch! :-) And the song we were looking for was of
course 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas' !
Ok
let's start with the recipe now. It's not only a very yummy recipe i
have to say, it's also pretty quickly made. Do you bake Christmas
cookies? I love to bake! Especially baking all kinds of different
Christmas cookies and cakes has a huge tradition in our family. So I
have to admit my first Christmas cookies for this year I already made in
early October...LOL....no I'm not joking! Of course they didn't last
long ;-) I always find a reason to make some more and try new recipes
too. But the recipe I like to share with you is one my Mom already made
every year and they are one of my favorites and on my cookie plate every
year! They are called:
Fruchthaeufchen - Fruit Piles
Ingredients:
200g / 6.5 oz unsalted butter
125g / 2/3 cups sugar
1 TL / tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
finely grated peel from 1 lemon
pinch of salt
250g / 2 cups flour
2 EL / tbsp milk
100g / 3.5 oz slivered almonds
100g / 3.5 oz raisins
150g / 5 oz finely diced fruit cake mix (candied, diced mixed friuts)
Using
an electric mixer or stand mix whip the butter until frothy. Gradually
add sugar, pinch of salt, vanilla, egg yolks and finely grated lemon
peel. Spoon by spoon add flour and milk and mix until combined. Fold in
almonds, raisins and mixed fruits. Using 2 teaspoons put little piles
on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 - 20 min. at
175 C / 350 F.
Enjoy!!!

That looks delicious indeed. Unfortunately, my other half is not too keen on raisins, so I'll have to come up with another recipe for my Christmas cookies. That is if I bother to make any. I'm more of a cooking than baking person. Lovely card...now I'm off to your blog to check out where that large snowflake die (?) is from. Love it!
