My Personal Top Desserts: From Sweetish House Mafia to Classic Christmas Cookies

From the gooey and crispy delights of Sweetish House Mafia in India to the fruity British classics, cookies have always held a special place in my heart. In this article, we will explore the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted and share the unique experiences they bring.

The Most Delicious Cookie: Sweetish House Mafia

Let's start with the most delicious cookie I've ever eaten. Sweetish House Mafia, a renowned brand from India, stands out for its exceptional flavor. Their cookies offer the perfect blend of texture and taste, with a rich, gooey center complemented by a slightly crispy exterior. This combination creates a delightful experience that remains unforgettable.

Sweetish House Mafia offers a wide range of unique and classic flavors, ensuring there's something for everyone. From their use of high-quality ingredients to their creative recipes, these cookies truly set them apart. If you are looking for an unforgettable cookie experience, I highly recommend you try their offerings. You won't be disappointed!

British Biscuits: Fig Filled Biscuits and Jam Biscuits

When it comes to British biscuits, there is nothing quite like the Fig Filled Biscuits and Jam Biscuits. These fruity flavor biscuits have been a top choice for me over the years, and there is no other cookie that comes close to their deliciousness. The fig and jam infuse a unique flavor that is both sweet and tart, making each bite a delightful experience.

Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies and Childhood Favorites

While chocolate chip cookies are a personal favorite, I am always willing to try anything. However, as a child, there were specific cookies that were my absolute favorites, such as my aunt's Christmas sugar cookies. Shaped into various designs and decorated with colored icing, these cookies were a true delight. Another childhood classic was my mom's chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips and oatmeal cookies with walnuts. These cookies were so delicious that I wouldn't even attempt to offer a cookie with raisins.

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies top my list as the best cookies. The intensity of peanut butter combined with a sweet cookie base makes them almost impossible to resist. I can devour an entire package in one sitting, which is why I now refrain from buying them anymore. To me, they represent the epitome of cookie perfection.

Family Desserts: Cocoa-Cookie with A-La-Mode and Flambeau

One of the most memorable desserts served at my family's restaurant in Amsterdam, Holland, was a Cocoa-cookie with ice cream a-la-mode served flambeau with whisky a-flame. Although commercial cookies are my favorites, depending on the country, the Capucines in Switzerland or the Biscoff from the USA are top choices. In Italy, I greatly enjoy the Bucaneve.

DIY Cookie Recipe

The recipe I often make is a hybrid of a Swiss and Italian recipe, using the base of Canestrelli and adding jam for an extra touch of sweetness. For those interested, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

300g flour 200g butter 100g sugar 1 egg yolk Fresh lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon of fruit jam

Instructions:

Mix all the ingredients into a smooth ball. Roll out the dough in small sections, about 1/4 thick, using a round cookie cutter about 2 in diameter. Make a hole in the center of half the cut cookies about the size of a thimble. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes, adjusting time as per your oven. When they begin to brown, they need to be golden but not white or brown. Remove and let them cool. Alternatively, place a 1/2 teaspoon of fruit jam on the solid half and close with the half that has the hole. Sprinkle with powder sugar for a final touch and enjoy your delicious cookies.

Experiment with different flavors and techniques to make your cookies more unique and delightful. No matter what you choose, cookies have a special place in everyone's heart, making them the perfect treat to enjoy any time of the day.
