Nutella sandwich cookies

These cookies are dangerous. Because its a sandwich cookie, it means that you’ll have to eat two at a time. And before you know it, you have probably eaten 10 pieces of cookies. I’ve made these cookies for the first time and I couldn’t stop eating it. The whole tray of cookies was gone within a day – thank goodness my housemate ate most of it. These cookies are slightly more tedious to make. The cutting of the cookie dough is easy, however the piping of the ganache can get a little messy. A little tip is to wait for the ganache to cool and set first before piping (I only figured that out after making a mess out of the kitchen table top). To reduce the sweetness of Nutella, I’ve added milk and Lindt 90% dark chocolate. The ganache tasted so good that I can eat it alone. In fact, I was dipping strawberries into it because it was absolutely delicious. Ingredients 120g unsalted butter (room temperature) 100g caster sugar 240g plain flour 1 …

Banana oatmeal cookies

I’ve been waiting for the prices of bananas to drop so that I can use it for my baking. I’ve never liked to eat bananas – I just hate the texture and also the taste of it. But strangely, when you put it into cakes and cookies, I’ll eat it. I guess I’m one of those people that don’t make sense. I did a lot of baking over the weekend. My friend had a genius idea of making vegan macarons. I never knew that you could froth up chickpea water. Making these vegan macarons was so tedious! We had to reduce the chickpea water, cool it, froth it, pipe it – and honestly, it does not taste like the real deal. After spending 3.5hr in the kitchen, we concluded, never again are we going to make vegan macarons. So back to this banana oatmeal cookies that I made yesterday morning – I was so grateful that this recipe is fuss free. Oh and it’s vegan and refined sugar free too! It is like a healthy breakfast …

White chocolate coconut cookies

I think I have too much time on my hands for my current placement. I’ve been baking 4-5 times a week. This was one of my baking projects last week. I love making cookie doughs whenever I am free so that I can freeze the dough and roll it out whenever I feel like having it. Remember, cookie dough taste better when rested overnight. To make this cookie, I used Donna Hay’s recipe again. The first time I made the cookie, it tasted really good but I didn’t like the texture. I found it a bit too hard so I used melted butter and raw cane sugar to soften the cookie. The cookie is now the perfect texture for me and I absolutely love it! Ingredients 125g unsalted butter (melted) 150g raw cane sugar 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 egg 150g plain flour 150g self-raising flour 80g desiccated coconut 100g white chocolate chips Directions  Preparation time: 15 min Baking time: 15 min Cream the melted butter together with the sugar until a uniform mixture In low speed, …

Gluten-free peanut butter cookies

My love for peanut butter is about the same as my love for dark chocolates. I know that it is a little disgusting, but I eat peanut butter by the tablespoons straight from the jar. Do not freak out because I have my own personal bottle of peanut butter, so that contaminated bottle belongs solely to me. Ever since I’ve discovered natural peanut butter (Pic’s peanut butter to be specific), I could no longer go back to the usual peanut butter. One of my friends made this peanut butter cookie for placement a couple of weeks ago and I loved it so much that I asked her for the recipe. It does not require any flour at all! In fact, its like baking peanut butter and adding chocolate chips into it. When it comes to baking, do not use natural peanut butter, instead use the usual commercial type of peanut butter. This cookie is so easy to make and does not require resting the dough over night that it can be made as and when …
