These are made using the cookie recipe I have used before, instead of rolling out the cookie dough, it is rolled into balls and the thumb is used to create a ‘well’ to add your favourite jam or spread. They are great fun to make with the children, as they are so very easy! Continue reading “Thumb Print Cookies”
Who doesn’t like a rocky road? All that chocolaty goodness with the chewy marshmallows and the soft crunch of biscuits all in one bite.
You can add almost anything to a rocky road to give it extra crunch, chewiness or added flavour.
I found myself buying more mini eggs after Easter, purely because they had been reduced and I simply couldn’t help myself. Continue reading “Rocky Road”

This recipe will make about 30 cookies (depending on the size of your cookie cutter)
These cookies are so versatile you can use any cookie cutter, sandwich two together, make window cookies or mug hanging cookies and more.

Today I have made sandwiched cookies with a heart window and some mug hanging cookies to enjoy with my hot chocolate. Continue reading “Valentine Cookies”

These cookies are great plain or they can be jazzed up with melted chocolate and your favourite chocolate bar as pictured. Continue reading “Oat Cookies”
I love strawberries and they are at their best during the British summer. I do sometimes get a little carried away and buy more then we can eat in a day. Unfortunately strawberries really need to be eaten within a day or two of picking before they go a little soft. This is the time I make strawberry crumbles. I make this as a tray bake and are so moreish it’s difficult to only eat one square! Continue reading “Strawberry Crumbles”
These are traditional ginger biscuit commonly found in Cornwall. Fairing biscuits were made to be sold at fairs thus became known as fairings.
These biscuits are very similar to gingerbread men. They are a spicy biscuit, I have added crystallized ginger to this recipe. The crystallized ginger adds an extra chewy warmth. Continue reading “Cornish Fairings”
