LIVING IN MISTELBACH

First “Cookie exchange party” in Mistelbach

Dezember 28th, 2010

Thanks to these ladies (and 3 others who had to work that day) we had a successful cookies exchange party in the beginning of December.

Baking cookies in the weeks before Christmas is a big thing in central Europe. During the years I lived in Prague, I can remember the plates with up to 20 different kind of cookies, colleagues brought into the office.

Also in the region around Mistelbach baking is still a tradition in almost every household. Two years ago I started to try out some recipes and discovered the joy of baking. I never got more than 2 or 3 different sorts of “Krapferl” as they call it here. So therefore the idea of baking two dozens of one kind and than swap the cookies with other ladies in the neighborhood was a gift in this stressful period before Christmas

Thanks to the site Cookie-exchange.com from Robin.L. Olson it was easy to organize. We made a list with “rules” (You can find them on the site above), picked a date and had a great morning tasting and swapping the goodies!
