Soft and chewy pecan raisin cookies

So last week I made cashew butter and honey chocolate chip cookies and they were so yummy that I made another batch three days later. It was the night before I was due to visit my dad, and, knowing how much he likes raisins, I had an idea for another cookie recipe using Pip & Nut’s honey and cinnamon cashew butter. Again, let me promise...

Cashew butter and honey chocolate chip cookies

I have a real thing for homemade cookies – you know, the chewy, slightly crisp, deliciously moreish kind that you just can’t get in shops. Nothing comes close to a warm cookie straight from the oven, where the chocolate is still a bit melty. And my favourite thing about cookies is that they’s SO easy and SO quick to make....

Hazelnut and marshmallow chocolate chip cookies

Ok, so these are basically mischief in cookie form. They were a bit of an experiment and WOW – what a success. They’re soft and chewy and slightly crispy – the perfect cookie texture. And the combination of hazelnut with dark chocolate and sweet marshmallow works beautifully. I adapted this recipe from the peanut butter marshmallow cookie recipe in the...

Banana chocolate chip cookies

I absolutely love banana and chocolate together – as evidenced by my recipes for banana chocolate loaf cake, banana chocolate chip muffins, and banana chocolate chip mini loaves. It’s a delicious combination and it works beautifully and these cookies. This recipe is adapted from a couple of different ones that I’ve been tweaking. The cookies have a delightful crisp but...

Hazelnut butter biscuits

I’m a bit obsessed with nut butter at the moment – I’ve been bulk buying jars in order to make scrummy fillings for macarons! I had some leftover hazelnut butter the other day so I thought it would be fun to experiment and make some hazelnut butter biscuits. The result was great – a crumbly yet soft biscuit with a...

Chocolate chip cookies

I’ve been fiddled with another recipe for chocolate chip cookies in my continuing quest for the perfect chewy cookie. These are pretty darn good, if I don’t say so myself. I’ve taken inspiration from a recipe on a cookie book, and this one is influenced by a recipe on BBC Good Food too. I think the trick to a really...

Peanut Butter Cookies

If you’re anything like me, you can’t get enough of peanut butter. I eat it on bananas, with apples, on toast, on crumpets – hell, on a spoon, straight from the jar on some mornings! That’s why I love these cookies – they are soft and chewy and oh-so-peanut-buttery. Truly a divinely indulgent treat! This is a generous recipe that...

Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Chocolate and coffee? In a cookie? Yes, your prayers have been answered. If you’re anything like me, you’d do everything short of inject coffee directly into your eyeballs, so these cookies are a lovely treat for the caffeine addicted people among you. These cookies are fairly easy to make, and are similar to the double chocolate cookie, but they pack...
