The best Swedish gingerbread recipe and a handy shortcut!

Gingerbread baking is an activity we all truly look forward to in our house. Every family needs a good gingerbread recipe, and if you ask me, this is the very best. Passed down along generations of Swedish grandmothers to mothers to daughters and granddaughters, until it finally ended up with my friend, who shared it ...

Shortbread! Indulgent, irresistible, and so easy to make...

We went to Scotland for a week long holiday which I will share more about soon! But within a few days of being there I immediately craved Scottish shortbread. I mean, are we even in Scotland if we don't have shortbread? So on our first rainy day, we made the very best of the weather ...

Cookie Recipe and Holiday Entertaining Tip!

We love cookies over the Christmas holidays, as you may have read earlier this month with our Twisted Candy Cane cookie. A winner indeed! But today I wanted to share a good 'staple' cookie, that can easily be enjoyed as an after school treat without the sugar crash. It is my reliable Cranberry Raisin Oatmeal ...

Funny little face cookies (from 'Bee's Brilliant Biscuits')

Fast forward five years and Bee now has a baby, published two recipe books and specializes in plant-based and allergy friendly bakes! This girl has been busy! Because we all love ...

Snowy Lime Cookies -- so pretty!

It has been snowing a lot in many parts of the globe, but here in London we are longing for a winter wonderland moment to happen. Ok, we may be the only ones waiting, and we know the snow had been relentless in much of the US this winter, but that should not stop anyone ...

Happy Face Shortbread Biscuits

We love our sugar cookie recipe, but because the recipe calls for shortening (which isn’t always easy to find) and requires that you put the dough in the fridge for an hour before baking, it’s not one of those quick make and bake recipes. I was on the hunt for an easier version when Ivy ...

Slow-Baked Organic Cookies from Farm Brothers

Back in December my husband and I whisked ourselves away for a few days to spend our wedding anniversary in Amsterdam. We stayed at The Hoxton hotel which by the way I can totally recommend! Each afternoon we'd relax in their restaurant and I'd drink pots of tea reading the paper. Now my only reason for ordering more and more tea ...

Delicious Cantuccini (or almond biscotti)

My friend Erika from Mikodesign brought me a jar of homemade Cantuccini cookies recently, and they didn't last longer than a day. They are SO good! She told me they are super easy to make, so I asked her for the recipe which thankfully she was happy to share. Here goes: 350 gram flour 3 eggs ...

Peanut butter cookies dipped in chocolate

Remember the super easy peanut butter cookies I blogged about a few months ago? The recipe with only three ingredients?! Well, last week I decided to add one more ingredient... and oh my goodness it was a good decision! I melted down some dark chocolate and dipped the cookies half way in. Yummmm !! x Courtney p.s. ...

A simple recipe for Madeleines

I don't know if you are like me, but I sometimes have a favourite recipe that I make almost every day and then totally forget about it. I was recently tidying up a kitchen shelf and on it I found a long forgotten Madeleine pan! Violette and I got straight to work and the results ...

World's easiest peanut butter cookies!

My mother-in-law made these peanut butter cookies for us when we were visiting over Easter, and I think I ate five in one go. They are delicious! So moist and chewy and crazily addictive. And the best bit? They consist of only THREE INGREDIENTS! How simple is that?! Just: -1 cup of peanut butter -1 ...

Ginger Biscuits

Ginger Biscuits (otherwise known as Ginger Nuts) must be the Irish equivalent to Esther's Pepernoten - spicey, really crunchy and perfect to dunk into a cup of tea. This is my grandmother's recipe and I have been eating these ever since I can remember! It makes up to 80 biscuits, but don't worry, they will disappear ...

Pepernoten, a recipe

Sinterklaas is back in the country! The yearly national craze has started again here in the Netherlands, with an old man dressed as a saint (Sinterklaas, or: Saint Nicolas, who is the predecessor of Santa Claus!). After his long trip on a steam boat from Spain (where he lives), he arrived last weekend and has been ...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Chocolate cookies with a peanut butter filling. Need I say more? And my kids always love when baking cookies involves ...

Easy Biscuits

Sometimes there is just nothing better than a nice cup of tea and a good biscuits to accompany it (how Anglo-Saxon do I sound?). I like these biscuits because they are really easy to make and I always make enough dough so that I can freeze half of it. That way when I, or any ...

Cookie Cutters

Cookie baking is big in our house, especially when the weather is grim like today, and as you can see from the picture we've started to collect quite a variety of cutters.

Sand Cookies

I'm not sure where the name 'sand cookies' comes from, but my mum used to bake these cookies when I was little; I remember sitting on the kitchen counter helping her decorate the cookies with almonds and raisins... and making sure the dough was tasty, of course! Yesterday I tried making them with my kids ...

Snickerdoodles

Whenever I mention the word 'snickerdoodle' to my friends in Europe, they think I must be talking about some rare breed of dog, or an exotic flower. So, either it's just an American thing, or possibly something specific to my family... In any case, snickerdoodles are delicious cookies that go over especially well with kids! ...

Madeleines

I will let you on to a secret. My oldest daughter's name is Madeleine. We loved the name but I also love one of the main associations with it: the wonderful little French pastries called Madeleines. The sensation of eating a Madeleine was immortalized by Marcel Proust in his memories, "Remembrance of Things Past", where ...

It's funny how I can really hate the cold, dark winters in London but not be so bothered by them when I am home for the holidays, all cozied up next to a fire! I love sitting around in my pajamas, listening to Christmas music and watching the rain splash against the windows (I'm in rainy ...
