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!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are really good, because they are very moist, not very sweet and of course – they are with chocolate! My kids just love them and at one time ate almost everything (my hubby helped them a little bit 🙂 ). So we agreed that we will repeat very soon.

Banana granola sugar-free and oil-free
nother name of this granola should be “It can’t be more healthy” 🙂 Now almost every sweet is too sweet for me, that’s why I liked this granola – it has only a mild sweetness. But making this granola you should use really overripe banana.

Cherry cake with chocolate
I bookmarked this recipe long ago. And this week everyday after work I thought to bake it, but… This weekend I said “now or never” and I’m happy to say that it was “now”. I baked it from half portion and made a mistake. When my hubby tasted it he said “I my God, you’ll have to bake it again”. The little one was crying near the empty plate pleasing for more 🙁 Good to know that I still have some cherries in the freezer, so they won’t have to wait very long 🙂

Dried fruits candy
Someone said that Sesame candies are very healthy 🙂 But they were wrong! These candies are really super healthy because they don”t need sugar – everything in them is natural (except coating). With the hubby we decided that next time we will make these candies smaller (about 10 cents diameter) and coat with melted chocolade.
