Sometimes you just want a no-nonsense cookie. Easy to make, easier to eat and that satisfies that sweet and salty combination of tastes. This is it my friends. I found it in my archives, completely hidden amongst other recipes that weren’t cookie related. Glad I did coz they are delicious and so easy to do. [...]
This is a lovely recipe for a delightful cookie that always reminds me of the walks my girlfriend (relax, she's now my wife) and I would take through the streets of Chinatown! I've mentioned before that she has a sweet tooth so inevitably, we would enter more bakeries to see, smell (and eventually) taste the [...]
There has to be one fun cookie you must make every year and this year, this is mine. Decorating these was always a fun event in our house. But the grown up kids won’t be here until Christmas day and that is too late for my last treat! This is a great sugar cookie recipe [...]
No mixer required! That should draw your attention. Here’s one for the folks who are starting off and may not have a stand mixer to make some of the other treats in this blog. I love recipes like this – simple ingredients (always room for substitutions) that when combined make you go ahhhhhhh, it’s Christmas. [...]
Think of this recipe as macarons without the tiny perfect semi-circles with the perfect legs and smooth sheen on top. These are just delightful crunchy and chewy cookies. Macarons without the heartache of failed but delicious macarons! I do believe macarons are overrated – wait, deliciously overrated. It is something (I think) that takes lots [...]
Unless you have been hiding from all forms of social media over the last few months, you will have heard of the Squid Games. I fell in love with this show from the second episode. Although the first episode set the context, I wasn’t sure I’d continue with it until I saw a preview of [...]
Because it’s by Dorie Greenspan! I can hear the questions now “This isn’t an unusual cookie like your other ones?!” I know eh! But it is from the Goddess of cookies – Dorie Greenspan and I had to use at least one (there may be more) of her cookies in the Treat series. So this [...]
I'm submitting this cookie for you to try. I'll admit it isn't a beautiful cookie, but it does have a lovely short-bread like texture with a delicate bite from the black pepper and candy coated fennel. The dough is wonderful to work with and comes together in the processor. Fennel is a great digestive in [...]
This recipe seems a bit complex but it really is worth making! You know I usually avoid these types of recipes that involve planning and shopping, but I initially started off in the direction of my version of fusion style fruitcake. I pulsed up the dried fruit in my processor (like black cake) until I [...]
These will go great with your charcuterie board or brunch table or even just with cocktails! You know that hungry feeling when its way past dinner and you are only going to be up for a few more minutes – these would do the job! They have oats and some spicy ingredients to provide enough [...]
