Above a simple Hungarian cookie recipe, Keksz, (means hard cookie) from my childhood BFF’s grandmother made these when she would visit and mail them to her. It was the prefect cookie. I think this year, I unlocked making the recipe almost like she would make them. 😀
A recipe, the result and a memory are so powerful, they instantly transport you back to a moment suspended in “space”. More than not, this will bring you back to a warm and comforting moment that releases the happy chemicals throughout your entire being.
In addition , this unlocked a happy memory with my children. As we baked together, I shared the cookie lore, a memory unlocked for them too. This cookie was a staple in their childhood during all seasons. All of which inspired me to reach out to my friend with a photo and a chat ensued about the blessing her grandmother was to both of us. The wave of love and smiles transcended decades of our life all through one simple cookie and a joy filled bite.
As inspired, pull out one of those recipes and see what happens. May you savor what unfolds.
