Last Minute Chestnut Cookies

The countdown is on! And it’s so very real. Only 2 days left to go.

It’s the 22nd of December, early morning and I’m here without Christmas treats, gifts or postcards. I left Berlin 1 day ago, packed all my stuff for Los Angeles and Hawaii in quite a hurry and hit the train to stay for a couple of days at my parent’s place before flying to LA. I’ve nothing planned for my further travels, have no backpack or any accommodations yet, but I did know that it would come like this so it’s all right. This is how I used to travel since I started. Be confident about what’s to come and it will all happen.

Still, I do want to get Christmas ready last minute. Therefore I went in the kitchen to my mum this morning and said, „we need to make some really quick Christmas cookies which should be refined sugar-free, not too fatty and with a good gluten-free base. I’m the luckiest person in the world to have such a wonderful mum, always helping me out.

We baked chestnut cookies, Vanillekipferl (just half-glutenfree) and Linzer Cookies.
