Cheese Straws

Who loves cheese? I loved these cheese crackers so much (thanks Erin!!), that I went on a hunt for similar recipes. These are slightly different from the cheese crackers. Those ones were cheddar and onion, and these are parmesan and chilli. YUM. These also had a different texture. They were very crumbly. Like, you would pick up one of the looong sticks and it would snap in half. And then … Continue reading →


Chocolate Chip Espresso Bars (Revisited)

These are chocolate chip espresso bars. I have blogged about them before. Last time, I called them Chocolate Chip Coffee Bars. I said they tasted like “cookie dough crossed with pie crust crossed with coffee”. Yes, you read right. Cookie dough crossed with pie crust. I instantly fell in love with them. I wanted to put my face in the dough and leave it there forever. I wanted to eat … Continue reading →


Gingerbread Biscuits

Its Christmas time! I love Christmas, and believe it such a great time to focus on family and food and being together. Decorating the Christmas tree, listening to carols. I love it all. Except the fact that its like 30 C  over Christmas in Australia. Now listen, I don’t really like gingerbread cookies. To be honest, I never liked gingerbread biscuits at all until I tried these. What I’m saying … Continue reading →


Cheddar Cheese Crackers

I know that this is a baking blog and that you probably come here for a sugar hit. But do you like cheese? Because I really like cheese. Cheese. Cheese. Yes, please. Blue cheese. Brie cheese. Camembert Cheese. Jarlsberg cheese. Goat’s cheese. Plastic slice cheese (leftover childhood snack love!). Edam cheese. Mascarpone cheese. Parmesan cheese. Feta cheese. Gouda cheese. Cheddar cheese. Yum! Cheddar. So because I like cheese, today we … Continue reading →


Cookies and Cream Cookies

I’m in Poland, its early morning and its -1 C outside. Way too cold for me! So I’ll be staying inside today. Maybe I’ll even bake something. But for now, I made you some yummy cookies. These cookies taste like cookies and cream. I’m not joking. Do you like cookies and cream ice cream? Do you like crushed up Oreo biscuits in smooth vanilla ice cream? Do you? I do. … Continue reading →


Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

So I am leaving for Europe today! One last post before I finish packing my bags and fly early this evening. I’m not sure if I will have the time or internet to update as regularly, but I do have some posts lined up so you will be hearing from me soon. And hopefully while I’m gone I can post up some photos of croissants, Christmas markets, snow and Polish … Continue reading →


Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

These are the easiest things you will ever make. Seriously. They have three ingredients. Yes, you read right. Three. You mix everything together in a bowl with a spoon, then you roll the dough into balls and 10 minutes later you have hot cookies. See? Easiest things ever. These cookies are flourless. Huh? Yeah I know. When I first saw the recipe I was like “What? How do they stick … Continue reading →


Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I may have said before that it blows my mind how many different chocolate chip cookie recipes there are out there. How they all have the teeny tiniest differences between them. And how they all turn up so differently. Well, the recipe for these cookies is scarily similar to these other ones. Scarily similar. The only difference is two tablespoons of oil and a little baking powder. But the cookies … Continue reading →


Salted Chocolate Shortbread

There were a bunch of things I wanted to bake yesterday. I couldn’t decide between two of them. So I decided to bake both! I went into the kitchen, pulled out the heavy stand mixer, got out all my ingredients and went to the fridge to get some eggs. And there were no eggs. Something you may not know about me is that I’m pretty lazy. I’d rather not bake … Continue reading →


Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

So there is a myth. The myth involves Neiman Marcus, some fantastic cookies and a really expensive recipe. I won’t go into it but you can read about the myth here. It’s not important really. What’s important is how good these cookies are. They are good. Very good. They have ground up oats inside, which does awesome things to the texture of these cookies. And it keeps them permanently chewy. … Continue reading →
