Today’s recipe are chocolate biscotti. Instead of classic pistachio biscotti I wanted to give it a more Christmassy vibe and used arancini and almonds. These cookies are also softer in the center than the classic Cantuccini, as they are only baked once. I know that biscotti are supposed to be baked twice but I prefer mine soft with a deep chocolate flavor.

What better way to officially start the Christmas season than with a spicy yet sweet mini cake donut recipe. For my first recipe in my ‘recipe advent calendar’ I chose to bake mini gingerbread cake donuts with a brown sugar glaze to kick off the holiday season. The glaze adds a nice caramel flavor, complementing the gingerbread spices.
Christmas is my favorite holiday and I like spreading Christmas spirit around my family and friends by baking holiday cookies (I also like to eat them!). In my opinion one of the best things about Christmas are the endless cookie variations, besides the Christmas markets, roasted chestnuts, hot punch, Christmas decorations…

I’m back in Vienna and had so much take out food these past weeks in London that I couldn’t wait to unpack my juicer and treat my body to some vitamins.
