It is easy to bake cookies, og sjovt at lege med former og eksperimentere med forskellig smag.

Crisp cookies are always delicious, and it does not have to be a Christmas thing. They are also perfect as a small personal gift to friends and acquaintances. They are super easy and low, and it's fun for the whole family of all ages to help make them. For years I have been a little bit by cookies, play with shapes and taste. On Saturday I held also workshop for children, hvor de bagte deres egne flotte småkager.

In drawers and cabinets, I found a sea of ​​cancellation must, more from traveling (love to buy souvenirs I can use something), that is my beautiful Uzbek bread stamps, small molded shapes from Morocco, graphic patterns bought in Milan and flowers udstikkerforme from Japan. And I have been lucky enough to receive a gift from the United States, there was a piston one can even make text on, so there is also Bugi cakes – If you have any shape you can just stop out with a glass, og man kan jo trykke en gaffel eller and ting med mønster ned i dejen som mønster.

You can even experiment with different tastes, I now have even made 4 variants, basic recipe has only vanilla, cardamom, coconut and lemon flavor. Cardamom was clearly my husband's favorite, he had eaten them very quickly. Jeg har et par variationer mere jeg gerne vil prøve.

Various cake stamps from around the world, CChobby, Panduro og Netto.

The biscuit decorated with icing in a small cellophane bag is a cute little Christmas greeting

I have also found a fun mix of my old biscuit tins forward

1.December already!!! so Christmas is really, are you ready? you lack inspiration? so just calm, her er hjælp at hente.

At the bottom of this post I have compiled a a lot of link to Christmas inspiration, Alternative Christmas gifts etc.. There are both jewelry, clothes, lamps, furnishing fabrics, ceramics and a host of other, altsammen Danish design and crafts. NB! There is no paid advertising, I get nothing but the pleasure of sharing these recommendations 🙂

I feel for once reasonably clear. Even this year's candle is ready. I have used the same ornaments for about 10 years, it's really in the spirit of, sustainable and recycling. And now it has become a tradition, Christmas decoration that looks almost identical every year 🙂 Next step is confections, jeg elsker at lave konfekt.

Hope I have shared a few new Christmas recipes for years, but I've already gathered most of my sweets and Sønderjyske family Christmas recipes here on the blog. Mine own top favorites, is my grandma's gingerbread and my grandmother vanilla wreaths, try them :).

Honey cakes and vaniljekranse fra Sønderjylland kan virkelig anbefales.

I am also ready for this year's Santa's Workshop, a workshop for children. I keep it with my talented colleague Charlotte Selvig Svendsen in her lovely paper workshop in Nansensgade. It is super cozy, and gonna get us all in the Christmas spirit. There are still a few seats at the breakfast team, if those interested, Read more her.

My little Christmas collection is also clear, både på min webshops og i Field’s Designstore.

Everything is purchased for my sweet boy's Advent calendar, and he has despite its button 13 years (perhaps a little grudgingly) agreed to see Advent calendar with me just as we have done all the other years, I think that is SO cozy. We were pretty excited about Tinka July last year, og håber DR har lavet en god ny julekalender i år.

Then nææsten ready, missing only a few Christmas gifts + making the annual photo calendar for the grandparents (see below)……and I look forward to some sunshine in December. This year we travel to Jordan on the Red Sea, with day trips to Jerusalem and Petra, det bliver så spændende.

MY CHRISTMAS RECOMMENDATIONS

If you are missing the Christmas spirit, I can highly recommend Paprika Steen new "The time of year". I really think it hits pretty well, you laugh and crumbs part toes of annoying family members, watch the trailer her.

COZY JULETRÆESTÆNDING

We always used to go to the lighting of the Christmas tree at Frederiksberg Town Square, it is cozy with booths, hot chocolate from scouts, mulled wine and fritters, song and goodie bags for kids, and our mayor Jørgen Glenthøj very top of the curve to turn on the Christmas tree (for the course he lights it with the torch ;))
Saturday 01. December, Frederiksberg Town Square at 15.30-17.15 Read more on the municipality website

UNIQUE IDEAS JULEGAVE

GREATEST HIT – DIY CALENDAR FOR BEST PARENTS
Do you have children I can really recommend the yearly calendar. This year it 10 time I make it to the grandparents. I will select the best photos for each month of the year (except December, when I use an image from July from the year before, otherwise I can not get it finished in time). I started to 10 years ago with a calendar of CChobby I even printed images, cheap and fairly easy, but only 6 Pictures, but then they made it into a perpetual calendar without days, hvilket ikke gør den særlig anvendelig.

I went to 3 years ago of a photo calendar. I buy them at Printerpix in England, but there are certainly many other places that have them. It's actually my yearly and only Black Friday shopping, 5 calendars from PrinterPix for almost no money. You buy, and then you can upload photos later. It seemed ok, although one year only sent three calendars instead of 5, men de fik da sendt resten da jeg skrev til dem.

Time flies, and now it is almost Christmas, her et lille udpluk af nye tiltag mm.

Food / photo journey to Marrakech
In May I was in an inspiring food / Photo trip to Marrakech in Morocco with Anne Hjernøe (Annemad) and Ditte Ingemann (who has made several cookbooks and takes excellent image). All in Marrakech is just so nicely and looks good in pictures :).

We were at fun restaurants, fun food walk with a local guide, visit bread bakers, trip trip to a Berber family in the Atlas mountains where we ate delicious food, excursion to the fishing mm. Cooking was done in mm “Riat of the Storks” (hotel) which is owned by a Danish architect. Riaten is perfect and you can rent rooms or the whole place for a good price, I can warmly recommend it, their website shows prices and upcoming courses and can be seen here

Courses for children and adults

I have held many courses this year, both design but also various food related courses for children Frederiksberg and Gentofte, bla. mini doughnuts, Alternative hot dogs rolled in Moroccan pancakes, confections, cookies and smoothies, I have also just held a cream puff course for a staff association where 25 adults made about 82 Snowballs they should eat at a party in the evening

new food & Kitchen section of my shop

As anyone knows, I am the textile designs and prints and designs all patterns to my shop, when I'm not doing food and cakes :). I have just redesigned my shop BUGIstudio.com and has now added a kitchen & food section where I have more BUGInamnam products, among other things, kitchen towels, mug, bags and cans of various designs. I also added a lot of new things bla. small top towels as I anoint have used for years, it's so super convenient to have a small towel aware ovnhåndtaget.

XMAS Christmas collection

Check finally also my little Christmas collection, I am myself so happy for the, og synes designet er blevet meget vellykket.
There are many things that will be perfect as hostess gifts, blah cake tins, mug and tea towel, there is also 20% by purchasing more stuff 119 KR, Check finally the entire collection here

One can incidentally also see more of my products Field’s Designstore on 1. sal i Fields, where I am in a store with 34 other designers. The store has many things to offer, among other very much clothing and jewelry, but also pottery and some home stuff, a good place to find a little different Christmas gifts. The shop is usually open every day from 10- 20, men de sidste uger her inden jul er der åbent helt til kl 22.

A little more with food

I have also had great fun making a Foodie T-shirt, and it has been very well received, even more with madfirmaer have booked the, og begejstrede turister under madfestivalen i sommers købte den inde i byen.

New blogger network

This is the most amazing gingerbread, en fest af krydderier og en fast ting min mormor bagte hvert år til jul.

Just to make the dough for these gingerbread puts one in the Christmas spirit, I love the smell of the spices in the warm honey, den revne citronskal og appelsin stykkerne.

The recipe is from my olde- maybe even my great-grandmother who lived in Vonsild situated right Christiansfeld, which is precisely known for their gingerbread. Jeg har aldrig lavet dem anderledes end som disse flade kugler med glasur på.

The only thing that is a little difficult is to bake them, they are baked for a bit will be the raw in the middle and they get too much, they will be too hard. Each year, says my “now remember not to bake them too long so they become hard”, It should be added here so that my mother never even have baked them, It is me who has got the recipe from my grandmother :).

If you are missing bageartikler, cake shapes, chocolate etc. I can recommend the two webshops Baking time and Bagebixen, they both sell. Callebaut chocolate that I use, as well as a heeeel lot udstikkerforme, Grommets mm. I also bought my big chocolate smeltere with Bagebixen.

Think I think it tastes better than many ordinary risalamander I've got. Another great positive experience, first rice pudding on rice milk, and now this RIS a la Mande.

In my grandmother's family ate one raspberry sauce instead of cherry sauce so it's I grew up with. Raspberry sauce suits me fine, Since I love raspberries and it has a little difficulty in taste of cherry, but of course you can easily use the cherry sauce to if that's what you like best

I admit that I have feared the taste of the alternative rivers after I once tried to make ice cream by the cool thing at the top of a can of coconut milk, I thought it tasted awful. I have both the cream of coconut, rice and soy sauce in the refrigerator and chose to try with soy sauce”cream” to this RIS a la Mande, og er virkelig tilfreds med resultatet og fedtprocenten er endda mindre end i almindelig piskekfløde

My better half does not seem there was something wrong with the taste, or any weird Tang of soy sauce, He missed just a little more vanillesmag, fordi jeg havde glemt at koge risengrøden med vanille.

Now I've really got the courage to go ahead with making ice cream also, and test the various “rivers” for homemade ice cream. Jeg elsker at lave is og det er nok det eneste sted hvor jeg synes det er svært at undvære piskefløde.

These “fake” Pepper nuts (as I like to call them) comes from my husband's grandmother, and in his family they call them pepper nuts. They taste super good, but since the only spice that is in, is cardamom, synes jeg kardemommenødder må være det rette navn.

It has been the tradition to meet up with my husband's mother and his siblings and children to bake gingerbread every year. “Grandma” used to make the dough the day in advance and roll it in bars and ask the cool. We have tried to maintain the tradition since we lost “Grandma” a few years ago, men i år har vi bare ikke nået det.

But I've made dough and baked them together with my boy and his companion. The boys ended up also doing someone where they rolled each one so that they looked like the gingerbread we buy, normalt skærer vi dem bare fladt af dejrullerne.

Er dejen for tør hæld evt lidt extra fløde i og er den for klistret put lidt mere mel i.

Jeg synes at åkander eller chokoladeslikkepinde er en rigtig god måde at bruge sine smeltede chokoladerester på.

When you have coated confections he ends up as often with, that there is something melted chocolate in excess, I often use it to fix chocolate slikkepinde by, men i dag syntes jeg det var oplagt at lave en slags åkander til julekonfekten.

You can decorate them with whatever you want, Sprinkle, vermicelli or nuts. Jeg har lavet mørk chokolade med mandler og lys chokolade med lakridskrymmel.

You CAN also save and reuse the chocolate residues, and use them the next time you need to use melted chocolate, but just remember that the saved chocolate is the first one heats up (and not the one added), se nederst på siden hvordan man chokoladetempererer for den perfekte blanke chokolade.

If you are missing bageartikler, cake shapes, chocolate etc. I can recommend the two webshops Baking time and (K) for Cake, they both sell. Callebaut chocolate that I use, as well as a heeeel lot udstikkerforme, tyller mm.

2 ingredients and water, then it becomes no easier

I love the smell of burnt almonds when you walk inside the city or in Tivoli, but they are so incredibly easy to do if I never buy any, 2 ingredienser og vand er jo rimelig let at gå til.

I like best the all-classic model, but many like to sprinkle them with cinnamon or licorice powder, så det er også en mulighed.

They are also perfect as a small hostess gift or for a sweet little goodie bag. På billedet har jeg vendt dem i lidt flormelis.

Another classic beauty biscuit

I usually don't eat cookies, or bake the rest of the year, så for mig er det ekstra dejligt med alle de gode familiekager i juledagene.

This year is the first time I have gotten bought the Pearl sugar and it seems I give something completely different than just using regular sugar, now the cakes completely perfect

I have not managed to make a gluten-free version, but I would replace the flour with Blue Finax, det synes ejg plejer at virke godt.

Nice crispy and “they taste gun good” is the comment from assessor nr 1 (my boy)

For Christmas belongs vanillekranse, they look good and they are crispy and lovely. I remember my grandmother by baking more of her and her mother's recipes each Christmas (Although it is almost 10 years ago, my grandmother died, I still have (and user) both her pasta spoon and the knitting needle she had in his kitchen drawer to stick in cakes for test).

For Gluten-Free; I have not yet tried them in the gluten-free version, men har haft rigtig godt held med at udskifte min speltmel med blå Finax i andre opskrifter.

Schweizer pellets is amazing and easy to make and tastes just as good as AfterEight

I have this year made two different kinds of, one with the usual chokoladedut on top, but also one where I have dipped them in dark chocolate. Especially the chocolate covered were really well received, for my husband exclaimed: “Well they taste quite professionally”, I think it was a compliment and my boy absolutely love them, fordi han synes de minder om Mentos.

I let my boy and his buddies do their own portion to model edible shapes, one was with the lemon and the other with caramel taste, so you can easily add other taste, men jeg synes stadig at pebermynte smager bedst.

Here I knead powdered sugar mass, den skal have en lækker blød konsistens.

This is almost my best discovery this year, at risengrød på rismælk smager godt og ikke spor underligt.

I've been skeptical to try the rice pudding without milk, but it was a success, man and boy had no comments on that it tasted weird, so now we've got it 2 times at 2 weeks. It is so cozy with rice pudding, yesterday when we baked Christmas cakes and confections made it was natural to eat rice porridge, og det er også dejlig nemt at lave.

I have mixed water and rice milk in order to get a more white color in the porridge, but you can easily use 1 litres of rice milk, When cinnamon on it makes no difference anyway. Ang the yellow color, tror jeg også der er forskel på de forskellige mærker.

The classic date confections in new clothes, perfect combination with the sweet and the crude licorice

I always think we had date confections for Christmas in my childhood. And even though I keep of simple classic confections, Nevertheless, I have tried with a new version rolled in crude licorice here, Plus, of course, I've used my own homemade Marzipan

Nougat is also a very important ingredient for Christmas, and my favorite – i år er første gang jeg selv har lavet nougat.I really love nougat, It is a good companion to marzipan, but can also easily be eaten alone

I've created two different kinds of nougat, en mørk og en lys version.
The dark, I've made with 85% Dark organic chocolate and the “bright” have I made with 57,8% Callebaut chocolate (the chocolate I use for covering cakes and candy).

The dark has, of course, the bitter from the dark chocolate, but after the taste of the roasted nuts. Den lyse minder mere om nougat som vi kender fra butikkerne.

I poured some of the nougaten in a silicone chocolate mould and put it in the freezer and it worked fine. Nougaten melts very easily, minder næsten lidt som Ice-cube/is chokolade.
