It's been an unsual 2020, to say at least. For me personally, it gave me the opportunity to make a lot of different Christmas cookies this holiday season which I haven't had the time in the last four years (I shared my last "Christmas Cookie Baking" here). It's been such a joy baking in my very own kitchen instead of a professional restaurant kitchen and being my own chef.
I made 28 different kinds of cookies and in total I made 1346 cookies, besides of countless of delicious lussekatter (Swedish sweet Christmas brioche with saffron) which are on of my favorite brioche of all time. I still have to share my lussekatter recipe with you. But there is hope: there is always a next year and a next Christmas.
