Cookies with ginger-orange filling

Aline and I did the truffles you can find in the previous recipe. They turned out delicious.  Let me tell you a little secret (Aline, listen, too): I have managed to transform the truffle recipes into cookie recipes. But unfortunately I am struggling with my camera, my photographic skills and my creativity, so I have not managed to take photographs of these precious little cookie truffles yet. But I’ll get my act together and will post them soon.

In the meantime I will post this recipe of sandwich cookies with ginger-orange filling. The texture of these cookies is very tender and the filling merges with the actual cookie. They are best when still warm, but you can keep them in an airtight container for about a month.

Spicy gingersnap cookies

Life has me. I quit my job. The decision was a long and complicated one and I do not know where it will lead. The only thing I know is that I am happy to have communicated this step in due time. I will now continue at my current workplace until the end of February. And then? I do not really know yet – but I have so many ideas. And finally, after the decision has been taken and communicated my mind feels much calmer and less occupied. Even if the future remains unclear. But now for some Christmas joy, shall we? Gingersnap cookies, soft and chewy ones, sparkling with sugar crystals. These are very spicy, you may well decide to use a bit less ginger, if you want them more delicate.
