Brookies

 

My darling girl wanted to bake something special for her classmates and close friends for ‘520’. She decided to do a combined bake of brownie and cookie. So I assisted her in baking this brownie and cookie dough combo - Brookies!

Cranberry Shortbread Cookies

  

This is a cookie where the cookie dough can be prepared in advance. I bought a mould to help with the shaping but you can do without the mould. 

The addition of orange zest certainly elevated the cookie to another level. Here is my super yummy Cranberry Shortbread Cookies!

Apple Cookies

This is another cute cookie using the rub-in method. Here is my super adorable Apple Cookies!

Orange Butter Cookies

I’ve not made butter cookies in a while. Made a batch of Orange Butter Cookies to enjoy since I saw some oranges in the refrigerator.

Pistachio Biscotti

These nutty Pistachio Biscotti are not only addictive but also make a great accompaniment to a cuppa anytime!

Calico Cat Cookies

This super cute Calico Cat Cookies have gained big THUMBS UP from my family. The cookies are done using the rub-in method and the cookies are shaped using a super cute cat cookie cutter. 

Coconut Almond Cookies

Yes, I love the combination of coconut and almond and here is another cookie that I've experimented using these two ingredients...Coconut Almond Cookies.

Mistletoe Butter Cookies

I've added some matcha powder to these melt-in-the-mouth Copycat Jenny's Butter Cookies that I've tried out here and then sprinkled some thousands & thousands to make these lovely Mistletoe Butter Cookies for gifting. 

Nestum Cookies

 

A fellow shopper at Phoon Huat told me told me about the Nestum Cookies she baked and even shared with me her recipe sometime back. I hadn't gone to baking a batch myself because I did not write down the recipe then. Recently several bakers shared their Nestum Cookies bakes and I didn't hesitate to buy a packet of Nestum cereal as I know it it time to try out a batch myself. 

Fudgy Brownies

 

I baked a tray of fudgy brownie a few weeks back after the passing of my aunt. She had a big influence over my interest in baking as I used to watch her bake when I was much younger. 

I'll always remember how my cousins and I would be her 'helpers' whenever it was time to make Lunar New Year goodies. We were most happy to 'lap up' any broken pieces of cookies then. :) 

No Churn Chocolate and Nutella Ice Cream

According to my girl, the weather has been so hot and humid these days and this tub of home made no churn ice cream is a definite god sent!

No Churn Cookies & Cream Ice Cream

My girl has been bugging me to make Cookies & Cream Ice Cream for a while. Now that the mid year school holiday has been advanced to May, I decided to make this ice cream together with her.

Burnt Cheesecake

I learnt how to bake this Burnt Cheesecake a couple of weeks ago and realised I've not documented it my blog. This cake was a craze a while back and I'm glad I finally got to bake it finally.

This is a surprisingly easy cake to make and the ingredients are  rather basic. The recipe I am documenting in this blog is a basic one. You can tweak this basic recipe to have different flavoured burnt cheesecakes (eg. matcha, chocolate, vanilla, etc)

Strawberry Ice-cream

This no-churn Strawberry Ice-cream only makes use of 3 ingredients and is unimaginably easy to make.

Sesame Almond Florentine

I've always been using the recipe here and here to make Almond Crisps. This year,  I am using florentine premix bought from Phoon Huat to make this wonderfully addictive snack.

Cranberry Shortbread Cookies

I wonder why I've not blogged on this shortbread cookie. Glad I'm finally doing so!

This is a wonderful recipe and a great make-ahead. You can prepare the dough in advance and keep it in the freezer. When you are ready or in need of a cookie fix, just take the dough out from the freezer, slice, bake, and ta-da...you're ready to serve hot-from-the-oven shortbread cookies!

Piggy German Cookies

To usher in the year of the Pig this coming Lunar New Year, I am joining the bandwagon to make these cute melt-in-the-mouth Piggy German Cookies by adapting from the recipe here.

Almost Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've just realised that I've not posted this Almost Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies I've been using for the longest time here.

Coffee Bean Cookies

Coffee lovers be warned!! These Coffee Bean Cookies are packed with to-die-for coffee aroma and are not only adorable to look at, but also a great accompaniment to your coffee break. 

Matcha Butter Cookies

I've added some matcha powder to make a slight variation to these melt-in-the-mouth Copycat Jenny's Butter Cookies that I've tried out here. Loving the subtle matcha flavour in these fragrant cookies.
