Cornflake cookies

Published by

It has been a while since I’ve posted any recipes. For the past few weeks I’ve been working on a new website to sell my cakes and cookies online so it’s going to be an exciting new start for me! Also, I’ve been trying to improve my photography skills and work on food styling – gosh it is quite a challenge and I look ridiculous standing on chairs, squatting, playing around with props just to get the perfect shot haha. After multiple attempts – finally a few good shots! So the recipe for the day is cornflake cookies! This is an adaptation from my previous post on almond cornflake cookie.

All you need is flour, cornflakes, sugar, butter, eggs and bicarbonate soda. The first thing to do is to make sure that your butter is at room temperature. This can be struggle during winter as it …

Banana marble cake

I love it when bananas go on sale at Coles – it means that I get to make banana bread or cakes again. Coles shopping is like my favourite thing to do – I love to see what is on sale and I can’t help myself whenever baking tins or equipment goes on sale. It is like an addiction haha. So my new toy for the week is a Wiltshire bundt cake tin – it was half price! How can anyone say no to that? Look at that perfectly shaped bundt cake! Oh that baking tin is now my favourite thing to use for cakes! So back to baking… today’s recipe is banana marble cake. Marble cakes are really easy to make even though it looks complicated. But essentially it is separating the cake batter into two and adding cocoa powder into one of them. Simple as that! So I adapted this from my ultimate banana bread recipe and split the batter into two. In one of the batter, I added one tablespoon of cocoa …

Triple chocolate cookies

The thing about making cookies is that once you have a good cookie dough recipe, you can basically add any ingredient you like into your cookie. Since I’m a huge chocolate fan and I can’t make up my mind what chocolate to add in, why not include all three types of chocolate into one cookie? No one can resist that.
