A TALE OF DIRT PIES & SPICY COOKIES!
“You become about as exciting as your food blender. The kids come in look you in the eye, and ask if anybody’s home.” Erma Bombeck Spicy Cookies Sometimes I think I’m running my personal blog patrol event & the frequency seems to be increasing with all the yummies doing the rounds! Made these ‘healthy’ cookies the other day. I don’t think they can get more healthier than this & stay edible, specially with kids. While browsing Sunita’s blog I stopped at these. She was inspired by traditional gingersnaps & these looked ever so pretty & sounded simple too. I had all the ingredients on hand & couldn’t wait to get…

IS IT A BAR, IS IT A COOKIE? Guess what…It’s a BAR COOKIE!
“In the nut, nothing is lost, except perhaps the noise it makes when breaking.” World Wide Walnut Pistachio, Cranberries & Golden Raisin Bars Was flipping pages of one of my favourite cookie books, ‘The Colossal Cookie Cookbook’, wondering what snack to make for the kids snack box for school. Thought I’d quickly do a batch of brownies, got the tin ready, lined it etc, & then had a change of heart. Wanted something other than chocolate…I like introducing them to as many flavours as possible, when they are still willing. Found something I liked the sound of… ‘Cranberry & Golden Raisin Bars’ hmmmmmmm. Passed a handful of golden raisins to…

NICE & HEALTHY OATMEAL WALNUT COOKIES…& a nice award too!
“We load up on oat bran in the morning so we’ll live forever. Then we spend the rest of the day living like there’s no tomorrow.” Lee Iacocca OATMEAL CHOCOLATE-CHIP WALNUT COOKIES While I was making these cookies the other day, the son was very intrigued by the ‘new ingredient’ on the counter. Told him it was oatmeal, a wonder grain with the power to give sustained release of energy the day through, healthy & full of fibre etc. He gobbled a couple & then later on, that night, told me that he ran well that day & felt great…‘Must be the oat cookies Mama!’ . These cookies are crisp,…

COFFEE WALNUT COOKIES…Heavenly beans!!
“Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee.” Stephanie PiroWALNUT COFFEE COOKIES… Yesterday was a busy day; I loved it. I made these scrumptious coffee cookies & a ‘Citrus Olive Oil Cake’…both from Cafe Fernando’s. This yummy food blog has the most beautiful collection of recipes & lovely pictures. More about the cake in another post…it was delicious too. Have been dying to make cookies ever since I saw them there. It’s a recipe Cenk tried from Alice Medrich’s book Pure Dessert…a book which is full of simple and delicious recipes that focus on pure flavor. The amount of butter was the only deterrent, but I thought…What the…

FLOUR FLOWERS…CLICKETY CLICK!!
“If I sing when I cook, the food is going to be happy.” Pasquale Carpino COLOURING MY WORLD…ICED SUGAR COOKIES My favourite cookies that I made again a few days ago. A friend was going down South for a birthday & wedding in the family, & her son insisted on taking these & some mini muffins for his cousins’ birthday. Got down to baking some of these attractive cookies that add colour to any table & I never tire of making them. I feel like a great painter adding colour to my canvas! Small pleasures, & very therapeutic indeed… Hearts piled high… The basic sugar cookie recipe is the same…

HEARTY ALMOND SHORTBREAD…How deep is your love?
“I am still convinced that a good, simple, homemade cookie is preferable to all the store-bought cookies one can find.”James Beard Almond Shortbread Hearts…delicious to the last crumb! These are one of those cookies that disappear before you can say Jack Robinson! Very easy to make, non-demanding or challenging, & above all, full of taste! Great cut-out cookies! Perfect hearts for Valentines! Nutty, Buttery & Crisp…goodness in every bite! I made hearts & flowers since I love the flowers too, but you can make an assortment of graduated hears if you like…or heart cut-outs in larger cookies! These are cookies I make just at the whim of it. Not involved…
