Shortbread, I've eaten it many times but I don't recall ever baking it before lockdown. This recipe has cornflour on it - I don't think that's the norm, it adds a lovely texture to the biscuit. It's light and kind of melts in your mouth. I made them in the warm weather and will admit… Continue reading Shortbread
Sounds like a win-win. A cookie that looks like a donut. Our inspiration came from a kids magazine, which my daughter got ages ago. She wanted to follow the recipe in the magazine, even though I have the perfect cookie recipe.... I went along with her plan, but wished I'd used my recipe 😉 The… Continue reading Donut Cookies

Anyway, this year, I decided to try making gingerbread dough and enlisted a few taste testers to give their verdict. They liked it, so I'll take a leap… Continue reading Gingerbread

I have temporarily given up the quest for flapjacks that aren't full of sugar and moved on to a hunt for a nice simple biscuit that is a handy snack for the kids. These biscuits have oats in them, so I figure they will get some slow release energy, it's a winner. There are only… Continue reading Oat Rounds
These biscuits are a bit different to what we usually bake, as they have a filling, but are a nice change when baking with kids. My daughter loved pressing the fork down on the cookie dough before we baked them - she really got into it. The recipe does say to use peppermint essence in… Continue reading Chocolate Kisses Biscuits

I got the GBBO monthly planner for 2017 and each month has a recipe. The cookies were the recipe from back in January, I actually made them in January but never got round to sharing. They are delicious, the type of cookie that one is never enough. I will definitely make them again (and again)… Continue reading Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
