Dreams

Today my hubbie is feeling a bit down, he has a bit of a cold but he is a lovely man and he doesn’t complain much. The answer to my question of what I could do for him, was that he wanted a cookie called “drömmar” or dreams in english. So for the first time ever in my life I took on the task of baking dreams… which by the way has to be the loveliest name for a cookie.

Take the butter out of the fridge in advance, you want it to be of room temperature.

Mix the butter and the sugar well, then add the oil and mix again.

Add the flour and the hartshorn salt and mix. Form the "dough" to small balls and put them on a baking plate.

Bake in 150 degrees Celcius for 20 min. The cookie should be light in colour and cracked.. mine didn't crack alot but they tasted lovely!

Reading…

… I love it!

And right now I am in a bit of a reading frenzy! Quite some time ago I started to read the first novel in the Game of Thrones series. I must admit that I had a really hard time with the book in the beginning since it has so many different characters and it takes a while to get in to it all, but now I am hooked!

Just wanted to share this little tip of the day… read Game of Thrones.. i loved the first book, and so far I love the second!

Wonderful series!

Pineapple pie

… when I was at the supermarket earlier today I had a sudden urge to bake a pineapple pie. So I bought some crushed canned pinapple and créme fraiche so that I could get this weird urge out of my system.

Back home I had to rumage around for quite some time in my little book of recipies before I finally found it. So here it is.. a very sweet pie indeed.. you can also switch the pinapple for rasberries if you want.. not too wet though.

A sweet and easy pie to make!
