Recipes for some lovely biscuits and cookies, which are usually very quick and easy to make.
These Apricot & Coconut Flapjacks are so easy to make. They don’t use too many ingredients either. A basic flapjack can easily be enhanced, as here, with some dried apricots and desiccated coconut. Flapjacks in the UK are different to those in the USA. These are oat bars, or squares, full of butter, brown sugar […]
Crunchy Coconut Biscuits are just perfect with tea of coffee. They are very easy to make too. The amount of effort is not much either. The only thing that slows down the process is that it is best to chill the biscuit dough before rolling out. Although I specify desiccated coconut in the recipe using […]
I love shortbread in almost any form. So this tangerine and cardamom shortbread version is perfect for me. I am sure many others will enjoy it too. It uses the same shortbread recipe that I love so much. But this has some tangerine zest and some cardamom added to give two wonderful flavours to enjoy […]
Cheesy Nutters – Biscuits are so tasty. Light and airy and so full of flavour. This is from a recipe by Mary Berry. I saw it on a TV programme last week. They are not only very tasty, but they are so easy to make too. All the ingredients are readily available. Indeed I had […]
Kavala Kurabiyesi – Almond Cookies are a delicious little treat from Turkey, shaped into crescents. There is also a Greek version of the same type of cookie. I will not claim that my version is authentic, as I only dust my Kavala Kurabiyesi in icing sugar where usually they are heavily dredged in it. But, […]
Chewy Oat & Date Cookies are the perfect little treat. They are so easy to make too. There’s lots of flavour and textures to enjoy in the cookies. As well as oats and dates a little black treacle which, along with dark brown sugar, gives some molasses flavour. The joy of the recipe is that […]
It’s always good to have a recipe like Pecan Cookies – Quick & Easy on hand. They take very little time to prepare and even less time to bake. The reward is a lovely cookie, or biscuit, that can be enjoyed at any time. The star of this particular show is pecans, and lots of […]
Rhubarb & Oat Squares, or bars, are so easy to make. Not only easy to make, but also very tasty too. They have a lovely oat flapjack style base that has a perfect texture. That then has a layer of stewed rhubarb, to your own level of sweetness, over it. The rhubarb then has some […]
This recipe for Cheese & Walnut Biscuits is based on one from Mary Berry, It closely follows Mary’s recipe, except that I use ground rice instead of semolina. That is fine though, since the ground rice will give the same crunch that semolina adds to the biscuits. Indeed if you have neither ground rice or […]
Pecan Sandies – Pecan Shortbread is a very simple recipe. It is a North American favourite, which doesn’t surprise me as it is delicious. With the butteriness of shortbread and the taste and texture of pecans the biscuits go so well with tea. Now I ought to say, at the outset, that my sandies spread […]
