Peanut butter Nutella cookies

The Nutella baking continues. This time, I’ve decided to mix two of my favourite spreads together – peanut butter and Nutella. Best to use commercial peanut butter such as Krafts or Skippy as they are less oily. I’ve made quite a number of peanut butter cookies before and I usually cream both peanut butter and butter together. This time, I’ve substituted the butter for Nutella because I cannot imagine how sinful this cookie will be with Peanut butter, butter and Nutella all in one. The creamy texture of Nutella helps to make the cookie dough less dry. Rolling out the cookie dough for this recipe is quite tricky because the peanut butter makes the dough crumbly. I prefer to roll it using my own hands because the heat and moisture from my hands help to keep the dough together. It takes a little more time and patience rolling the dough out. I’ve also added in white chocolate chip and dark chocolate chips into the dough – you can never have enough chocolates in a cookie! …

Nutella chocolate chip cookies

Nutella is one of my favourite spreads and I’ve always wanted to make Nutella chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of eating Nutella straight from the jar like ice cream that I forbid myself from buying it in Australia. Now that I’m back in Singapore for two weeks, I saw that my family has Nutella spread and I knew that I had to do all the Nutella baking that I want. These cookies are slightly different from the rest of my cookie recipes. It’s a softer and more chewy. The Nutella acts like butter too, so I reduced the amount of butter needed for the cookie dough. If you prefer a crunchy kind of cookie, replace the brown sugar with caster sugar. I was very generous with the Nutella and you could taste it in the cookies which was perfect for me. Oh and did I mention that these cookies taste great with warm milk? Hope that you enjoyed them as much as I did! Nutrition per cookie (one batch makes 60) Ingredients …

M&M peanut butter cookies

Peanut butter is my kryptonite. I usually ban myself from buying peanut butter because I eat it straight from the jar with a spoon – disgusting I know. The only time I allow myself to buy peanut butter is when I need it for my baking. This recipe is a slight adaptation from my peanut butter cookie recipe. I added M&M peanut for an extra “umph”! Making peanut butter cookies are slightly trickier than the other cookies. The cookie dough tends to be drier and harder to roll. I prefer to wait for the cookie dough to soften till room temperature before rolling it out. Remember not to over bake the cookies or it would turn out too dry. So take the cookies out from the oven when they are slightly soft and let it cool. The cookies will harden when cooling. Nutrition per cookie Ingredients for the cookie 100g unsalted butter (room temperature) 200g peanut butter ( I used kraft peanut butter) 60g brown sugar 60g caster sugar 220g plain flour 1 egg 1 …

Roasted black sesame cookies

I was doing my grocery shopping in Singapore when I came across roasted black sesame powder and I grabbed it instantly. I love anything that has black sesame in it – black sesame dumplings, buns etc. This time, I decided to adapt my almond cookie recipe and use black sesame instead. Like my almond cookie recipe, this does not require butter or eggs. It uses peanut oil and icing sugar instead. The good thing about this recipe is that it uses the mixing method and the dough does not need to be rested overnight. Nutrition per cookie (one batch makes 50)  Ingredients for the cookies 250g plain flour 120g roasted black sesame powder 90g icing sugar 200ml peanut oil 1 tsp vanilla essence 2 tsp bicarbonate soda 1 tsp baking powder 0.25 tsp salt 2 tbsp of sesame seeds Directions Preparation time: 15 min Baking time: 10-15 min Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (convectional oven) Sieve flour, icing sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate soda into a mixing bowl Add roasted black sesame powder, salt and vanilla essence. …
