Alfajores

I first tasted real alfajores while holidaying through Spain and Portugal last year. Even though I’d made alfajores before, these were different. They had some spice to them, and upon asking the bakery I found them at, pisco and cinnamon in the cookie dough. These alfajores were the best I’d ever tasted.

Marbled Chocolate Gingerbread

I'm kicking off my season of Christmas cooking with these delicious marbled gingerbread cookies! I went to Williams-Sonoma on the weekend as a treat (there's only one store in Melbourne!) and couldn't help myself when I saw a big Christmas tree adorned with copper cookie cutters! I chose a set of gingerbread men, all different sizes perfect for any occasion, a Christmas tree and a beautiful ornate star. I also picked up a box of Peppermint Bark because I couldn't help myself! It's too delicious and only comes around once a year! 

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Even though Halloween is not something that is huge in Australia, I love seeing the festivities from overseas - all the dress ups and house decorations! I love watching the Modern Family halloween specials too! I think they are just too funny and love the competitiveness that Claire has for being the scariest house in the neighbourhood while her husband is petrified of everything!
