Chocolate crinkle cookies

December 17, 2018 By travellingoven 6 Comments

My blog has lately been more about photography and travel stories and less about recipes and that is actually how I’ve always wanted it to be so I’m hoping to continue in that direction. My wish was always to have a place where I can share my photography and combine two things that I spend most time shooting, food & travel. Food is always an essential part of travelling so all my travel stories have some food in there too. Those who follow me here on my blog for a while now and also on my social media accounts know already that my main focus is photography and not recipes but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be an occasional recipe posted here on the blog.

I would like to keep this as my little corner of internet where you can come if you enjoy food & travel photography, want to be inspired for your possible next journey, want to learn more about food photography and if you like to try out simple recipes often with healthier ingredients. As those are all the things I am passionate about and what my ‘Travelling oven’ is all about. Also, you can always write to me to tell me what would you like to see more of on the blog as your opinion is so very important to me. I’m so happy to have you here with me! Don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter (on the right side where it says ‘subscribe’ as next year I will be sharing more interesting stuff that you don’t want to miss!). And now let’s talk cookies! 🙂

I don’t think I was ever before so unprepared for Christmas and all that comes with it as this year. How about you, do you have everything under control? It’s just that life has been a bit crazy for me lately and I have been dealing with so many things and problems that before I realised, December was already here, people were getting into Christmas mood, decorations, lights, cookies baking, buying presents and so on and on… For a moment I went into a true panic mode but then I thought about everything, took a deep breath and decided that I won’t allow the panic to take over. That the world will still go on and the life will not stop if this year I’m not as prepared as I usually am, if I’m not in the mood for so much baking and if I just want to really slow down in the time of the year when usually everybody speed up.

It’s so important to accept that we don’t have to be perfect, that there are no rules that say we should feel a certain way and that we should alway listen to ourselves, that tiny voice that whispers what we actually want to feel and do and not what we think is expected from us. So the moment I accepted all that, it’s like the burden lifted and I started to feel so much better. Removing the pressure resulted in me actually having more energy to do things and I started creating, working on some Christmas styling and photography and yes, I even baked some cookies! 😀

These Chocolate crinkle cookies are a bit healthier version as I used spelt flour, coconut sugar and coconut oil instead of butter. Of course I’ll have some traditional buttery cookies and other sweet treats for holidays too but when I can make something healthier and it still tastes delicious, why not!? Here you can find more simple Christmas inspired recipes…

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
