The cookies continue, but the inspiration does not…
For the first time this week, I really struggled with what to bake. I knew I was going to bake this week, because, well, of course I was but I struggled with inspiration. Jinx had sent me a recipe from EasyGayOven which looked great on Instagram but sadly the recipe itself wasn’t online. Well, it…

And We’re Back!
We took a week off for a family holiday (and marathon) on the Gold Coast. We had a blast! The Gold Coast is the perfect place for a family holiday- Thomas had a blast! Sea World, Australian Outback Spectacular, Whale Watching, Timezone, Teppanyaki, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, multiple trips to Wendy’s… it was an…

I take requests now…
This week I’m making THREE cookies! Yikes! Three Cookies means I’ve spent all morning baking, cleaning, baking, washing dishes and then washing more dishes. And by washing dishes, I mean packing and unpacking the dishwasher– which is the same as washing dishes to me. I can make three cookies this morning because the boys are…

Shortbread??
So this week, we (I) baked shortbread for the first time. I mean, shortbread is kind of cookie-like? It’s in a lot of cookie cookbooks but it’s not really a cookie. It’s cookie adjacent. I’ve seen shortbread recipes pop up in Cookie Cookbooks but I’ve always discarded them as “not cookie enough”. But with World…

Highs and Lows
I’ll start with the bad news. I had my first (or maybe second) cookie fail this week. I tried to re-make the Cornflake-Marshmallow-Chocolate Chip cookies from a few weeks ago and they did not turn out- at all. They were too crunchy, too dry, too ick. Wrong wrong wrong. I should have known better. I…

Goodbye Fall, Hello Winter.
Let’s just start with facts. I hate winter. I hate cold, I hate dark, I hate winter. And today is Day 1 of Winter. But that’s ok. We’ll get through it together. Despite the house being cold, despite hating all of my winter clothes, despite the short days and the long nights. Nevertheless, we persist.…

The week I became Cookie Monster
Literally. I was Cookie Monster this week. I baked A LOT of cookies that I’d made before- Mexican Hot Chocolate and the Chipless Wonders. But the main headline is that I was actually Cookie Monster. And trust me, it was a time. Did I win the competition? Definitely not. Did I have a great time?…

They’re called S’mores for a reason…
And actually, I’m starting to sound like a broken record- but once again, this week, THESE cookies might just be the best ones ever! I’m not speaking based on my opinion but on the reactions of everyone who has tried them! I can honestly say that these S’mores Cookies from Cookies & Crumbs (again) have…

Are these the best yet?
I know I ask that question every week- but it’s because every week someone tells me that these cookies are “the best yet!” But this week’s are pretty good. Another Cookies and Crumbs success story- this time the Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have to say, it could be my new favourite cookie cookbook. Actually,…

A first time for everything
Firstly, apologies for the lateness of my post. I only realised as I was looking for THIS week’s cookies that I hadn’t written about LAST week’s cookies yet! So, here it goes, better late than never… This week, I did something I’ve never done before…. Asked Chat GPT for a recipe. I’m doing my best…
