I think I might have had a writer’s block for the past month or so, because I couldn’t bring myself to writing something on the blog. That, in addition to having family visiting and spending time with my parents and my mother-in-law were the reasons for not seeing anything new around here.

But hey, when you have family coming over once in a couple of years it goes without saying that everything else in your life kind of gets pushed over.

That said, it doesn’t mean I didn’t spend time in the kitchen. True; I spent less time thanks to my mom and my mother-in-law (THANK YOU) but I still had my moments of therapy in my kitchen aka cooking.

So this time I had 2 lonely oranges just laying there in the fruit basket, I had to do something.

What I did was come up with a recipe for spelt flour (of course) soft orange cookies.

The texture came out soft and fluffy, and it almost felt like baked upgraded pancakes, so I can safely say that these cookies can also be served to toddlers since they are so soft and melt in your mouth and you don’t even necessarily need a stand mixer to make these.

In any case, I’m pretty sure eaters of all ages will love these with a nice cup of hot cocoa, coffee or tea.

So much better than bear paws!
