Chewy brown sugar cookies

Me Want Cookies. I know how Cookie Monster feels, because me generally (always) do want cookies. Actually my favourite biscuit is probably a custard cream, but this cookie is absolutely excellent in its caramelly toffee chewiness, plus the dough is also rather wonderful chopped up and mixed into vanilla ice-cream, so it’s one that I… Continue reading Chewy brown sugar cookies

I took them to a friend’s house for afternoon tea and they disappeared quickly. How many will this make I hear you ask? Well it depends on how… Continue reading Chewy Amaretti Cookies
