I've always thought that peanut butter and bacon go amazingly well together and these cookies certainly support that! This recipe is a twist on an old classic, the 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies. Traditionally, this uses 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup white sugar and 1 egg. Using half brown sugar, half white adds a bit of chewiness to the cookies. Using gluten free bacon ...

Handmade Winter: Hazelnut Spiral Cookies
Since the Handmade Winter eBook came out, I have't been able to get the thought of spiral cookies out of my head! I fondly remember my Mum making them when we were kids and I really wanted to give them a go. As much as I would love some pink and covered in 100s & 1000s cookies, I thought I would make a more grown up version. I modified the recipe a bit and made it into ...
Cooking the Books: AWW Cakes, Biscuits and Slices
Baking today is Narelle from Cook Clean Craft. Before blogging, Narelle was an Engineer just like I was! It sure feels like a lifetime ago for me. Last year I participated in Boy's Own Style Month on Narelle's blog. Now she's returning the favour and testing out the Australian Women's Weekly: Cakes Biscuits and Slices. Take it away Narelle! I love to bake – maybe it’s in ...

Well this is my last recipe for 'A Very Cookie Christmas'. I've had lots of fun baking and testing all the different cookies and I hope you've enjoyed them too. If you've made up a batch, please leave a comment or post a message on the Facebook page and let me know. I'd love to know what you've made. I love these cookies! They're crunchy on the outside, but chewy and fudgy ...
Christmas Cookies with Hidden Presents
I think Laura's cookies are getting more impressive with each post. These cookies are just too awesome! Cookies are delicious enough on their own, but putting secret candy and goodies inside just takes them to a whole new level! If you want to make your own, take a look at Laura's recipe and tutorial. I love the idea of having these instead of the traditional crackers. ...
Cookie Puzzle
I've been so inspired by Laura's amazing decorated cookies (here and here) during this series, that I thought I would give it a go myself. I've never decorated cookies before, (I know?! I think I'm the only one) but in the middle of the night I got the idea for a Cookie Puzzle and had to give it a go! This makes a fun little gift, just make sure that if your cookies feel ...
Gingerbread House Tree Ornaments
I love Laura's idea of making mini Gingerbread houses to hang on your Christmas Tree. I think it's a great way to use up any dough scraps you have left over from making a larger house or other Gingerbread construction. The smell would be very inviting every time you walked past the tree. Laura has got the directions and templates here on her blog. ...
Savoury Seedy Snaps
I thought you might be getting overloaded with sugar from all these cookies, so today I've got a recipe for some Savoury Crackers for you. I loved watching the latest season of The Great British Bake Off and that is where this recipe is adapted from. Hubby and I have to watch it with snacks on hand because we get very hungry watching it. The original recipe uses 3/4tsp of ...
Sea Salted Double Choc Marzipan Chunk Cookies
Laura made these amazing cookies as part of The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. I love chunky cookies and I think it's always handy to have such an adaptable recipe in your stash. If you aren't a fan of chocolate and marzipan, leave them out and simply change the ingredients to suit. Nuts, dried fruit, cocoa nibs or even m&ms. I love that you can leave out the cocoa too ...
Pfeffernüsse
Hubby loves these German biscuits, but I must confess, I'm not a huge fan. A bit too much cinnamon for me! Anyway, I was looking forward to baking them to see if I liked them better if I'd made them myself.* This recipe is based on this one from London Eats. I've changed the ingredients slightly, but they're still packed with spice. The Spice Mix will make more mix than ...
