ABOUT THE RECIPE

Ready to level up your cookie game? These soft, melt-in-your-mouth treats bring together creamy white chocolate and a frosting that’s as eye-catching as it is delicious. The vibrant blue spirulina frosting not only adds a pop of color but also gives a playful, natural twist to the classic buttercream. Perfect for making an impression at parties or just when you’re craving something special, these cookies are the kind of treat that feels like a celebration with every bite.

How to serve
These cookies are best served at room temperature, giving that perfect balance between a tender bite and creamy frosting. They’re ideal for a dessert table or as a show-stopping treat for a special occasion. You can serve them alongside a cup of tea, coffee, or even milk for the ultimate comfort experience. And let’s be real, they make for a pretty impressive addition to any cookie swap or holiday gathering.

How to store
To keep these cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a 5 days. You can also freeze them (without the frosting) for up to a month and just whip up the buttercream fresh when you’re ready to serve.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • small pot (or microwave)
  • two medium-sized bowls
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • cookie scoop
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

Units Scale

COOKIE DOUGH

  • 120 grams butter
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 220 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 150 grams white chocolate

BUTTERCREAM

  • 200 grams butter
  • 300 grams powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp blue spirulina powder

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small pot or microwave. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown and white sugar, and vanilla extract for a few minutes. Then add the egg and mix again. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Roughly chop the white chocolate and add it to the wet ingredients as well as the dry ingredients. Then mix with a spatula until there are no more visible streaks of flour.
  4. Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to form 12 evenly sized dough balls and place them on parchment paper. Chill the dough balls in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  5. A few minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 150°C / 302°F. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between them, and bake for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Take them out of the oven and let them cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.
  6. Now, make the frosting. I recommend preparing it once the cookies have reached room temperature so the buttercream doesn’t melt when adding to the cookies. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until smooth and nearly white.
  7. Gradually add the powdered sugar, starting on low speed and then increasing to medium, mixing for 1 to 2 minutes until fully combined.
  8. Mix the cream with the spirulina powder and add it to the buttercream. Stir everything together until you get a vibrant blue color. Fill a piping bag with the buttercream, and once the cookies have cooled to room temperature, decorate them. Alternatively, you can spread the buttercream with a knife. Optionally, sprinkle a bit of spirulina powder on top of the frosting.

COOKING

1. Peel the carrots and cut them into long sticks. Don’t throw the peels in the trash – instead put them in a plastic bag to your other veggie scraps in the freezer to cook vegetable stock from scratch. Place the sticks on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix well.

2. Spread the carrot sticks in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don’t overlap or stack on top of each other. Then, distribute the grated Parmesan over the carrots and put the sheet in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes.

3. In the meantime, prepare the dip. Peel and finely chop the garlic or press it with a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix crème fraîche with salt, pepper, and the garlic. Next, chop the parsley and set it aside.

4. The carrots are done when the Parmesan has spread among them and become crispy. The carrots should have some brown spots but still be firm to the bite. Now, remove the carrots from the oven. Serve them on plates, garnished with parsley and the dip.

Bacon Onion Cheese Rolls & Poppy Seed Glaze


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2 hrs
  • Yield: 12 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • baking dish – my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch)
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • pastry brush
  • spatula
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale

DOUGH

  • 450 grams all-purpose flour
  • 180 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 2 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp butter, room-temperature
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for greasing the bowl

BACON

  • 250 grams bacon
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 60 milliliter white wine (or any kind of stock)

CARAMALIZED ONIONS

  • 600 grams yellow onions
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 60 milliliter white wine (or any kind of stock)

POPPY SEED GLAZE

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

OTHER INGREDIENTS

  • 250 grams cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. To make the dough, warm the milk slightly to 35–40°C (95–104°F) and mix it with the dry active yeast and honey in a small container. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbles form, indicating the yeast is active. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg, butter, and salt. Stir in the milk-yeast mixture until well incorporated. Gradually add the flour in four additions, mixing thoroughly after each one. Once the dough is firm enough, transfer it to a clean work surface and knead with the remaining flour until it becomes smooth, elastic, and soft. This should take about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough ball inside. Coat the dough lightly with a bit more olive oil, then cover the bowl with cling film and a clean towel. Let it rest in a warm place for one hour.
  2. To make the caramelized onions, peel the onions, cut them into thin half-circles, and cook them in a large pan with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing them to caramelize slowly. This takes about 30 minutes, depending on the desired color. Finish by deglazing with a splash of white wine and letting it reduce briefly. Alternatively, you can use stock instead of wine. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  3. For the bacon, use the same pan you caramelized the onions in (no need for additional fat). Fry the bacon until crispy, then add fresh or dried thyme, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a drizzle of honey. Let everything caramelize over medium heat before deglazing with a splash of white wine or stock. Allow the liquid to evaporate, then set the bacon aside.
  4. Grease a baking dish with butter and set aside. Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside. Dust a clean work surface with flour and place the dough ball on it. It should have doubled in size by now. Sprinkle the dough lightly with more flour and roll it out into a rectangle about 30×40 cm (12×16 inches). Spread half of the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the caramelized onions and bacon. Top with the remaining cheese. Roll the dough tightly from the bottom upward, then cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in the greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover the dish with cling film and a towel, and let it rest for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  5. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls bake, prepare the poppy seed glaze. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, garlic powder, poppy seeds, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
  6. After 30 minutes of baking, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them evenly with the glaze. Return them to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, being careful not to let them get too dark. Let the rolls cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

}

ACTIVE: 20 min

PASSIVE: 3.5 hours

COOKING

1. Put the gloves on. Peel the beets and chop them into coarse pieces. Place the pieces in one of the pots. Set aside.

2. Chop the red cabbage into coarse pieces and place them in another pot. Set aside.

3. Add 1.5 teaspoons of turmeric powder to another pot.

4. Fill all three pots with 1 liter of water each and place them on the stove.

5. Bring the water to a simmer and prepare a broth in each pot. Let the beets simmer for 15 minutes, and the red cabbage and turmeric for 20 minutes. Then, remove the pots from the stove and strain the liquid from each pot into the medium-sized bowls. Let the liquid cool.

6. Meanwhile, hard boil the eggs. Fill a pot with water enough to cover all the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, add the eggs, and cook for 8 minutes. Shock the eggs with cold water and set aside. Once the eggs are no longer hot, rub them with vinegar to help them better absorb the color later. For this, put 1 tablespoon of vinegar into a small bowl, dip kitchen paper into the vinegar, and then rub the eggs all around. Set aside.

7. Once the eggs and the broths have cooled, you can now place the eggs in the broth. I left them in for 2 hours because I like the pastel tone best. For a more intense color, the eggs can be left in the broth longer.

8. When you are happy with the color, remove the eggs from the broth and dry them with kitchen paper. The eggs are now ready. If you prefer them to be shiny rather than matte, you can now rub them with a little cooking oil.
