I believe, the weather plays a major role in cooking. The mood is preset with the season. In summer - you start the grill and winter you turn the oven and stay warm inside.
The winter is in full bloom here. After a dense foggy day, it was a hell wind storm. Trees, branches, leaves everywhere which created a messy and scary driving condition. Luckily, there were no power outage in our area.
To lift the mood, I turned the oven for cookies. Last week, a batch of gingerbread were baked and this week, this candied fruit cookies. The recipe of Arlecchini (Italian cookies) was bookmarked long back from this French website. They were simply adorable with all the Christmas color in cookie form.
I slightly modified: converted in cup, halved and skipped the half egg (The truth is I didn't know how to divide the egg in half) so simply apt for eggless and added less than 2 tbsp milk! I would even suggest any spice, the cookie is crunchy and every bite filled with citrus peel.
Have you got enough Green and Red for the Holiday? if not try it.
