The first time I baked these cookies with my daugther. They were very delicious and very sweet. So next time I used less sugar, but they spread less while baking. Here I give you proportions with less sugar because I like when cookies are cookies and not candies 🙂 By the way, when I used hazelnuts my hubby said to leave them at home (didn’t let to take them to my work) 🙂 So it says everything about the taste of these cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies with nuts and apricots
Time needed:
Yields: 30 cookies
Calories: 98 kcal / 1 serving
Ingredients:
1 cup = 237 ml
- 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup (110 g) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla sugar
- 2/3 cup nuts (I suggest hazelnuts), coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped (or other dried fruits)
- 75 g chocolate, coarsely chopped
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl mix butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until light and creamy. Beat in egg. Then gradually blend in the flour mixture.
- Add in nuts, apricots and chocolate chips and stir until they are well-distributed in the batter.
- Shape cookie dough into balls and arrange on prepared baking sheet, leaving about 5 cm between the cookies to allow for spread. Spress cookie balls with fingers to flatten.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes, until cookies are light golden brown on the edges.
- Allow to cool on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Cookies Puppies
At last I made these little puppies too. My daughter asked to give her something that she could treat her kindergarten group children. So good mother rolled up her sleeves and started to word ? This work was only pleasure. Of course it needed some time but these puppies are really worth it.

Oat muffins with dried fruits
I don’t know why but I look at baking with dried fruits suspiciously. But now I’m ashamed… I baked these muffins and ate half of them all by my self… Sour milk gave the taste of cottage cheese. Strange, but we like it 🙂

Chocolate spread
This spread I found accidentally. But the simplicity was intriguing and I gave a try. Even my hubby, who doesn’t like cocoa, agreed that it’s very good. So almost all last week at school my girl ate sandwiches with this cream and peanut butter. And today I had to prepare this spread again, because it was very good with a freshly baked bread for me too 🙂
