Chocolate Truffle Swirl Cookies

So let’s talk chocolate chip cookies. Did you think that they could ever get any better than the classics? I certainly didn’t. Until I baked these. They have homemade chocolate truffle chunks in them instead of chocolate chips. Yes. Homemade chocolate truffle chunks. I can’t even. I made a version of my Nutella ganache. Froze it. Chopped it up. And swirled it through my cookie dough. Yep. I ate half … Continue reading →

Christmas Spiced Brown Sugar Shortbread

Hey everyone? It’s Christmas! Seriously, how did that happen so fast?! It’s Christmas Eve here today. I spent the entire afternoon baking various Christmassy and non-Christmassy baked goods for, well, Christmas. There are homemade Baci chocolates, espresso ice cream, a ridiculously amazing new version of this cake and the best passionfruit tart ever. All of those recipes will be coming to you in the new year! But today, I have a gorgeously … Continue reading →

Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Sandwich Cookies

Kingston biscuits. They are an Australian biscuit, an oaty, buttery sandwich cookie with a delicious, creamy milk chocolate filling in the middle. They are yummy, but I try really hard not to buy packet biscuits, what with all the additives and preservatives, when I can easily bake up some cookies myself. So when I saw a recipe for a homemade version of Kingstons, I jumped all over it. And they … Continue reading →

Mocha Icebox Cake

I can still remember the first time I tried an icebox cake, or what in Australia is more commonly called a chocolate ripple cake. Chocolate Ripple is the brand name of a deep, dark, rich, rippled chocolate biscuit, and the back of the packet has forever had a recipe for icebox cake on it. I’m not sure anyone actually buys the biscuits unless they are making some version of the … Continue reading →

Polish Icebox Cake (Miodowiec)

When I finished high school, I worked hard for 6 months, did a quick English teaching course, packed my bags, sold my car and set off to live in Europe for a year. I had no idea what I was going to do for the whole year, so I started off in Poland (my entire family on my mother’s side are scattered around the country). I arrived on Easter Saturday, … Continue reading →

Anzac Biscuits

Today is Anzac Day. In Australia, that means a day off from school and from work for most people. So I thought I’d bake some Anzac biscuits to represent the day, and because its raining out and what better to do on a rainy day than bake? Anzac biscuits are a very popular rolled oat biscuit in Australia. The story goes that a similar, harder version of the Anzac biscuit … Continue reading →

Parmesan Chilli Shortbread

I’m so excited about these savoury shortbread cookies! I’ve been meaning to make them for ages and now I just don’t know why I waited this long. They’re totally addictive. Not joking. I ate about 4 of them just while I was taking photos. I really want another one. Like, now. They’re that good. I first fell in love with the chilli and parmesan combo when I made these. This … Continue reading →

Mocha Nutella Thumbprint Cookies

I don’t really drink coffee. It’s not that I don’t like the taste of it, it’s just that espresso coffee in lattes and cappuccinos, which is really the only type of coffee you can buy in cafes Australia, makes me feel sick. I don’t know why. I can happily drink instant coffee (judge all you like). And I love the filtered coffee that they drink in the States. I would … Continue reading →

Strawberry Cookies

I was so pleasantly surprised by these blueberry cookies, that I thought I would try the same idea out with some different fruit – strawberries! They were yummy, kind of like strawberry pie, kind of like strawberry crumble, with the combination of the crisp cookie and the soft baked strawberries. My friend came over the evening I baked them and ate them all up! They’re nice and refreshing too, because … Continue reading →

Tim Tam Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

We talked about Tim Tams last week when I made Tim Tam chunk cookies. They were delicious, and I wanted to do more with the Tim Tams, get bigger chunks of them in my cookies, and get some chocolate in there too. So I made these. Think: gooey cookie and melted chocolate chip layer, chocolate layer, biscuit layer, chocolate creme layer, another biscuit layer, more chocolate, then another layer of … Continue reading →
