These are one of my favourite biscuits, well peanut butter and chocolate chips - what more can you want! I realise I share quite a few biscuit recipes and that’s mainly because they are quick and easy to create and make brilliant snacks for the week (If they last that long!). These little gems are no exception. You could play around with different nut butters, one of my favourite brands is Pip n Nut and they have all sorts! I used peanut butter here, but I did eye up an alm

Hooray it’s February! Gosh, I don’t know about you, but it felt like January went on for a long time. I went for an early morning run in the week and I am noticing the lighter mornings, along with some cracking sunrises - spring is on the way. This weeks blog is quite a personal one to me, my wonderful step dad would have had his birthday this week, I still can’t believe its nearly 3 years since he died - feels like a lifetime and just a minute, all at the same time. I alw

Last week I went on an annual festive pilgrimage with my family to Fortnum and Masons for afternoon tea and to gawp at all the amazing decorations and lights. We’ve been doing it for a few years now and it has become the official commencement of all things festive. It was amazing as always and if you ever have a chance to go to Fortnum and Masons I am sure you won’t be disappointed - gazing at all the amazing hampers is thrilling in itself! Even though festive thoughts have

You may have seen those crunchy little amaretti biscuits that get served with coffee at the end of a meal in an Italian restaurant…well these are completely different! These little gems are pale, light and chewy and deliciously nutty. This recipe only requires four ingredients and is as simple as can be… They would make a lovely gift wrapped up in baking parchment and twisted at the ends, like the real deal! Chewy Ameretti of Dreams 150g golden caster sugar 175g ground almon

Brrrr, it has been a cold week - time to warm things up with ginger and mixed spice in freshly baked warm cookies. There is something very pleasing in whipping up a batch of biscuits, not only does it make the house smell liked spice heaven, you also get to curl up on the sofa and devour them. I don’t know about you but the world is pulling me towards the winter festivities, adverts on the telly, christmas magazines are out and shops have already got their decorations up. I

This is one of my favourite times of the year, a chance to decorate the house and enjoy the fun of Halloween. I shared some ghoulish recipes last year, so feel free to scroll back and have a look, but this year I thought I would kick things of with a simple, yet effective, fun spooky spider idea. I didn’t have a biscuit cutter for this, so I made my own template using a piece of card and cut around it with a knife. I know spiders have eight legs, but as I was cutting these

I have wanted to have a go at making biscotti for a while now, I always wondered how it was that they were baked twice; the actual meaning of the word biscotti. After playing with a couple of recipes I found that they were pretty easy to make - so I feel these delicious biscuits will be baked a few times over autumn . They go brilliantly with tea or coffee, but I have also enjoyed them with my Californian family, dunked in a glass of fine red wine! I am sharing two recipes t

Let’s talk about chocolate, roasted hazelnuts and salted caramel and putting them all together into a biscuit! Then you have caramel puddle biscuits. I have shared the recipe to make sea salted caramel in a previous blog on the 23rd December 2016, so you can head back to that to whip some up. It is always worth having a jar of caramel in the fridge for all sorts of treats and this is one of them. If you don’t fancy making this yourself, then you can buy caramel in a tin in

These cookies are buttery and nutty and with the addition of dark chocolates, they have a slightly bittersweet flavour to them. Now when it comes to cookies, the question is - do you like them chewy or crunchy? My answer would be…both! The centre has got to be chewy but the edges crunchy, for me that is the ultimate cookie goal. The main factor in determining the texture outcome is the length of time in the oven - the longer they are in, the crunchier they become. So if yo

Easter is fast approaching and I am enjoying all the pastel shades and spring blossom that’s about. To get into the swing of the springtime celebrations, I have made one of my seasonal favourites, spiced bunny biscuits. They burst with warm cinnamon and fresh zesty lemon flavours and are one of my spring highlights. You could play about with the shapes you choose to cut them out with, I did toy with the idea of using my chick biscuit cutter and my egg biscuit cutter, but I
