Orange, chocolate and pine nuts cookies

27 June 2013 by vanessa 1 Comment

Those cookies are a little bit unusual, but the mix between the pine nuts, the orange flavour, and the chocolate is an amazing combination. I was inspired by a recipe I found on a French cooking blog (www.leconfitcestpasgras.com) but I customised the recipe, as I didn’t have all the ingredients at home. Ingredients for 16 … [Read more…]

In Lebanon we usually have those biscuits for Easter. In the old times, the women, family and neighbour, used to gather around and bake them in huge quantity all together.

I remembered those biscuits from some childhood memories, couldn’t tell when or where, but when I had some at my mother in law’s last Christmas, the smell, the taste were really familiar.
