Chocolate Florentines

February 15, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

Oreo Button Cookies

November 22, 2013 by Elizabeth Atia

This idea has been filed away in my head for several months now. I’ve been wanting to make home made Oreo cookies for some time and I bookmarked a few recipes which looked interesting and had some really positive comments. When my daughter said she’d like a Coraline themed birthday party this year I thought …

Soft spiced molasses cookies; ideal for when you’re going on an adventure! When I was a girl growing up in rural Canada I used to bake an old fashioned soft molasses cookie recipe.

There’s nothing better than a proper, old-fashioned oatmeal raisin cookie. I’ve been making this recipe for years, ever since my Canadian grandmother posted me a copy of the 2001 Robin Hood Baking Festival recipe booklet.

Pepperkaker

November 26, 2012 by Elizabeth Atia

These delightful Norwegian gingersnaps are incredibly moreish and always remind the OH of his grandmother while growing up in Norway. They also make perfect little gifts for friends and neighbours, instead of sending out Christmas cards (I never really understood the point of Christmas cards – I’d much prefer a visit and food instead!). Please note: 1 …
