Two years ago, Lil\u2019 Cookie was launched. It was originally created as a translated version for my Hebrew baking blog oogio.net<\/a>, but very quickly it got its own life.<\/p>\n

I must tell you, managing two recipe blogs in two different languages, each of them with its own audience, takes a lot of effort. However, it really is worth it; I have so much fun creating the recipes, planning the content release, and just enjoying the fact my recipes are made by so many bakers in kitchens around the world.<\/p>\n

This blog wouldn\u2019t have become what it is if it weren\u2019t for all of you, dear reader. It truly is a blessing reading your comments, getting those positive feedbacks and seeing your own unique versions of my recipes. I want to THANK YOU<\/strong> all for being here, and I am looking forward for this next year, wondering what\u2019s 2019 is going to look like!<\/p>\n

So, just in time for upcoming 2019, this blog birthday is a great excuse to take a look back over the past year and see which recipes were the most popular. Here\u2019s the best of the best:<\/p>\n
