Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

So this is me trying to be healthy. All the bread and petit fours I have been baking in my course, all the pretzel chocolate chip peanut butter truffle brownies I have been eating and all the procrastinating I have been doing has been making me feel a little heavy. So much so, that I was even inspired to go for a run recently. So instead of going on a … Continue reading →



Pretzel, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the ultimate flavour combinations. Whoever invented Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups is amazing and will have my love forever. But I was never really into peanut butter (crazy, I know) until I went to visit some relatives in the States a few years ago. It was fall and the trees were amazing shades of red and orange and Halloween was around the corner My … Continue reading →


Walnut Chocolate Chip Bean Brownie Cake

So I fell so absolutely, head over heels in love with these healthy cookie dough balls, that I have since baked them three times, and would happily eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hey, the main ingredients are like, chickpeas and peanuts, so they are like, a healthy protein snack, right? Never mind all the chocolate that’s in there, it gets cancelled out by all the chickpeas. Anyway, so … Continue reading →


Mars Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

My brother is the brain behind these babies. I think I have a new found love for him now. He’s a kid, only 13, in his first year of high school. He has a massive sweet tooth, loves his chocolate and is always asking me to bake him these. Sometimes, he comes up with a brilliant baking idea of his own, like this one. On a recent Sunday afternoon, I … Continue reading →


Chocolate Chip Biscoff Streusel Muffins

I’m well and truly back from my holiday now. Solidly settled in. Which means work. And 5am wake ups. And culinary school. And my bosses (they are identical twins!) have gone overseas, so I have been baking the cupcakes at work every morning. Which means long days. And tiredness. And the snooze button. And a massive morning rush. And no time for breakfast. Or for much at all, really. Not … Continue reading →


Biscoff Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Biscoff Spread. I know I’m a little bit late to jump on the Biscoff bandwagon. But it’s not that I didn’t want to be on the Biscoff bandwagon, it was simply that I can’t buy Biscoff spread in Australia. Because we are at the end of the world, quite literally, so we get everything last. And pay more for it. I eventually found Biscoff cookies here at home, but my … Continue reading →


Cookie Cake

I love lists. To-do lists, mostly. I write them all the time. They get me through busy times, my day, all my homework and the prep for a trip overseas. I love ticking off the things I need to do, one by one, and watching the list get shorter and shorter, as my freedom gets closer. The satisfaction of finishing everything you needed to do on a list, and then … Continue reading →


Peanut Butter Ritz Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

On the particular day when I baked these cookies, I had salty/sweet on the brain. It was a Tuesday morning, and Tuesday mornings at culinary school are a bit of a lazy bore. Four straight hours of theory class. Yes. Four. Hours. Straight. Two hours of ‘bullying in the workplace’ and two hours of ‘intro to hospitality’, back to back, in the same classroom, with the same group. I LOSE … Continue reading →


Healthy Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

I just got back from a holiday in Europe a few days ago. I had the absolute best time, filled with laughter, sunlight and fantastic family and friends. I spent some time in Poland visiting my family and all my friends, traveled with some Australian friends, visited Budapest and spent a few days in Berlin. And in Berlin, I was lucky enough to meet up with Erin from Texanerin Baking! … Continue reading →
