COOKIE TIME – ‘FOUR IN ONE’ COOKIE DOUGH…the versatile sugar cookie!
“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.” Author Unknown COOKIE TIME… I felt a bit like Martha Stewart…though I didn’t get time enough to make 7 cookies out of the same dough! Anyway, barely had time to make 1 portion of sugar cookie dough, my adapted recipe that I trust blindly! This time I made 4 different sorts outta the one dough…hence, decided to call ’em ‘FOUR-IN-ONE COOKIES’… Its great fun making these, & this is the first time I’ve made a variety out of the same dough. I made between 2-3 dozen of each type, & the son has literally begged me for ‘any broken or burnt…

SAVOURY CHEESE COOKIES…Crisp, tasty nibbles!
“Cheese, wine, and a friend must be old to be good.”Cuban Proverb SAVOURY CHEESE COOKIES A favourite savoury cookie that has a made permanent place at the kids birthday party table. It’s crisp, it’s buttery, it’s cheesy…& attractive too. I usually make these with sesame seeds on top, but this year have tried some with poppy seeds as my friend from Kiev got me a bag of poppy seeds! This recipe is adapted from one of my oft used cookie books, “The Great Big Cookie Book”. The book has a few other savoury bites too, which I plan to try in the near future. I love playing around with cookie…

Baking | SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD…Think Spice Cinnamon!
“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Harriet van Horne SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD This is a sweet & spicy shortbread, not the traditional sort, because I made it with brown sugar that gave it a very different texture. In addition, I went further and sprinkled the tops with a mix of brown sugar & cinnamon before baking, which enhanced the flavour of cinnamon! Flowers on stars!! I love the ‘Think Spice’ monthly event at Sunita’s World. It does make you put on your thinking cap, and actually think the spice…at least with me it does! Can you imagine…I been thinking ‘Cinnamon’, her…

Back to baking again…ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
“And every day when I’ve been good, I get an orange after food.” Robert Louis Stevenson ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES Orange Shortbread Christmas cookies from the ‘Great Big Cookie Book’…crispy, buttery & just right on sweetness. Its the orange zest that adds a burst of fresh flavour to this shortbread. Its amazing how much of a difference natural flavours can make to food! The orange before it lost its zest! The recipe is quite similar to the Lime Shortbread Cookies one I posted a few days ago; except there are no twists to the original recipe this time, but for the shapes. If you haven’t got cookie cutters, worry not! Just…
