It was Father’s Day in NZ on Sunday. Father’s Day and Mother’s Day are both a bit odd for me and my husband as neither of us have parents living in the same city and we are not parents ourselves. Therefore, the day often passes by like any other day. Also, while I don’t like to buy into the blatant commercialism of it, I do like to treat my father on Father’s Day with something nice.
One of my Dad’s favourite cookies is Belgium Biscuits, so for Father’s Day, I made him these little cookies that sound a bit like Belgium Biscuits, but are slightly different. They are little spicy cookies with an indent filled with raspberry jam and then iced with dark chocolate on the bases. I called them Belgium Bites. I really like the idea, but I think if I made these again, I would follow my usual Belgium Biscuit recipe, rather than the one I used which had golden syrup as the only sweetner, making the cookies a bit soft – like a soft gingerbread rather than crisp like a Belgium Biscuit. I hope Dad liked them anyway!

What a great gift. I know what you mean about the commercialism of all the holidays. IN a way, I like thanksgiving here the best because no one expects anything but food. Food I can do.
I am with you on that one Tammy. I hate the commercialism of it all too. I am sure he would have appreciated the lovely thought and what bloke doesn't like food! lol
Oooh, how interesting! I've never heard of them. They look really yummy!
They look fab to me - chocolate dipped cookies will always win my vote. Hope your dad enjoyed them.
