Nope, we did not just fast forward to Christmas. These are *not* Christmas Cookies, though I guess they could be. They are “summer flavored” (with lemon and lingonberries) and while that does look like *snow*, it’s just powdered sugar. It is, after all, still a little too early for Christmas (tell that to the shops though!). At any rate, summertime Linzers, delicious any time of year.

I’m doing a little more experimenting with those Bailey’s Irish Cream Chips that have recently come on the market, and here is another cookie type: Baileys & Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies … Bailey’s and Butterscotch sounded like a great combination to me, and oatmeal? Sure, let’s make it remotely healthy. I froze the caramel bits before putting them in the cookie dough so they didn’t goo everywhere. Very yummy, though a bit on the overly sweet side (not surprising).
Headed out on a road trip tomorrow, so I am prepping a few things to take with us that are easy to store, easy to eat. That includes these Black Currant Almond Streusel Bars. As with all of my crumble and struesel bars, these are super-easy to make, really versatile to swap out flavors and pack up really nicely. Also perfect to take along as a picnic or biergarten snack or dessert.
In case you haven’t heard — and goodness knows that I have been talking about it a lot on Facebook — but there are now these Bailey’s Irish Cream baking chips on the market. They are chocolate with Bailey’s flavoring, which sounds just delicious. So, I got me-self a bunch of bags and am trying out some recipes. First up, these Triple Chip Mudslide Cookies with Irish Cream, Mocha and White Chocolate Chips. Yes, overload on the chips. A little on the sweet side, but otherwise really good. I had a little bit of Irish Cream extract which I put in too, but it’s optional and you could definitely just go with vanilla extract as well.

Browned Butter Cran-Strawberry Crumble Bars with Toasted Pistachios
Between eggs and strawberries, I seem to be drowning in ingredients these days, so I decided to make more jam (subsequent post coming up) and then with “extra” jam (I ran out of jars), I decided to make these crumble bars. They are definitely my go to recipe. This time, I browned the butter first (definitely a great idea) and then added pistachios as well. Perfect for a 4th of July picnic!
