Christmas

Ooooh I like Christmas but this year wasn't like last year cause we didn't have any snow :( and I didn't felt like Christmas at all until we brought the Christmas tree and I baked some gingerbread!

I had time to experiment some new recipes. First I tried to cook oatmeal cookies in my way and they turned out delicious!!! And than I tried Nadja Kaarma's (she's a confectioner in Anni Arro's cafe) cheesecake wt cherries and it was more than delicious I don't even have words to describe how good it was at least for me.

Unfortunately I can't give you the recipe of the cheesecake cause I looked it up from the book which I got for my relative as a gift :) but but but I will visit her and get a copy of it because I'm goin to make this cake more and more and more!

But in oatmeal cookies I used a regular oatmeal cookie recipe and in the mixture I added some orange and lemon skin and juice it gives them freshness and good aroma. And when the cookies were ready and cooled I melted some dark chocolate and spreaded it under the cookies. In the future I wanna try also wt white chocolate:)
