Hello from Deutschland!!!  We’re currently in Frankfurt, Germany visiting Stephan’s family.  The temperatures have been up in the high 90′s for weeks in South Florida, so this is perfect timing to leave for a few weeks!  I haven’t been cooking since I got here as my mother in law is a fantastic cook, but this is a little something I made before I left for vacation.  We’ll be off to Prague, Vienna and Munich next week and I plan on blogging the good eats we find along the way!

So… on to the tasty treat.  Although this looks like a sweet treat, it is not.  This cookie has one of my favorite savory ingredients… caramelized onion.  There’s something magical that happens when you cook boring old onions in a little bit of butter.  It turns into a sweet and caramel colored delicacy.  You do have to be patient… very patient when caramelizing onion, though.  Expect to spend the better part of an hour if you want perfectly caramelized onions.  If you try to rush it, you’ll end up with a bitter tasting end result. Believe me… been there, done that!
