They turned out perfectly! Very lovely crispy and none of the overwhelmingly cinnamony taste I was half expecting. I love cinnamon, but I just can’t have it in abundance. I am weird that way. I guess that’s partially to do with my migraines. Strong flavors of any kind act as triggers, unfortunately. The last migraine attack caused by food was one triggered by raspberry vinegar – and I’d only dared to smell it. Anyway, moving on.

I put a bunch of the Snickerdoodles in a little basket, tied some ribbon around it and gifted it to one of the Munchkin’s Kita teachers. She and her daughter loved the cookies so much that she asked for the recipe the next day. Success!

Next up on my list is the Chocolate Bread also featured in the new book.  It seems to be a bit more of a complicated recipe, which is why I’ve been putting off trying it, but I have a feeling I’ll talk myself into making it very soon.

Some people in my immediate family really love spongy, cinnamony things like Pulla, though, so once again, I set out to conquer the yeasty beast. This time around, I gave a recipe by Cynthia Barcomi, hands down my favorite baker in Berlin, a try. The end result was really, really, incredibly fluffy and oh so yummy – I just have to share some pictures with you!
