Hi. I’ve made a few new recipe categories for this site: No wheat flour – Not necessarily gluten-free, as for this recipe. Sweet baking recipes that require wheat flour for structure. No yeast – Baking recipes that don’t require any yeast, which is most of them. No egg – I focused on baking recipes that … Continue reading
Round little cookies that are comfortingly spiced and very easy to eat. As a bonus, they’re very quick and easy to put together! I had some chickpea flour from making MiMi Aye’s Burmese tofu–absolutely delicious and so easy, please get her book and try it–so I went from one cookbook to another as I returned … Continue reading
So I found a recipe which used feuilletine and thought: today is the day I finally attempt this, since I refuse to spend five quid on a box of it. Homemade feuilletine! This is @bravetart’s recipe.

Spooky, delicious cookies, and a bit of a change from the sticky sweet candy. To be clear, I don’t think it is better–I do not buy into the whole wellness nonsense, and this holiday is all about the candy, after all!–but it’s nice to have variety. These are roasty with black sesame and, if you … Continue reading
Brownie cookies. Forget any vaguely brown, sticky-sweet double chocolate cookies you might have had: these go full-on with plenty of melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and chocolate chunks. I have to say one of my favourite textures in baking is melted chocolate and butter. It’s just so glossy and is the perfect colour. And when you … Continue reading
I love how these look like snowballs. That, plus the fact they’re made of pulverised roast chestnuts, is the reason I made them a couple of years ago and why I made them again this year. Couldn’t remember how they were supposed to taste like, but I after several bakings, I can confirm these cookies … Continue reading
These are heart-shaped custard creams made festive: more generous and well-defined spice amounts, a little rum extract in the filling, and the suggestion you make them star-shaped. Twee? Yes. And they’re delicious. Continue reading
A bigger batch of these cranberry-studded biscuits with the addition of pistachios. I love the gold, green, and deep red together. These are my favourite holiday cookies because I find them well-balanced and not too sweet. Sweet-tart dried cranberries and fragrant clementines always evoke the holidays for me, and here they perfectly brighten up a rich shortbread. A handful of pistachios … Continue reading
Rich with oats, peanut butter, and chocolate, these are soft, comforting cookies. You’d think, maybe, that these warm, toasty flavours and rich textures are better suited to cooler days. They’re actually built to be ice cream sandwiches. Continue reading
Let me introduce you to my new favourite biscuit: black sesame shortbread. I wasn’t expecting them to be a favourite; it just happened. I fiddled with a recipe, ate the resulting biscuits, and was delighted. Just sweet enough. Crisp, with the lightest crumb, and richly fragrant with earthy black sesame. They’re also very simple to make, even in a … Continue reading
