I have a book. A French Bakery book.
I’d like to hug it all the time.
I have a visual obsession with it!
My mom and uncle gave me the book À la mère de famille and since then I’ve wanted to taste all those beautiful sweets!
Everything looks so elegant and delicate that I’ve been afraid of making a recipe but finally, I decided for this one just because I’m in love with the combination of colors!
The result was astonishing! I haven’t made a cookie like this before. The powdered sugar played an important roll in the delicateness of texture and the taste is incredibly good.
Make yourself a treat for New Year’s Eve and see how everybody will fall in love with these fantastic cookies!
Happy New Year!
I will take some days off to enjoy my family, so talk to you in a couple of weeks!
