Cookies

I can’t believe I haven’t posted about cookies yet!

I confess…I have a cookie baking problem. I love finding a recipe, shopping for the ingredients, mixing it and making a mess of the kitchen, if only, for the production and execution of that perfect first buttery sugary melt in your mouth bite.

I am constantly in search of the recipe that is just a little better than the last one.

With cookies, concentrate on exactly what it is you want. Is it a plain sugar cookie, unembellished, that has a short baking time but gives you a “close-your-eyes-while-it-melts-on-your-tongue” experience? Or do you want a  rich flavoured, soft, chewy cookie filled with a multitude of textures that lingers longer and gives new flavours with every chew?

With so many options well, what a dilemma to have!

I will post some favourite cookie recipes here from my absolute favourite Empire biscuits to a drool-worthy molasses Ginger chewy cookie.

Geez…here we go….opening the fridge for a pound of butter and turning on the oven.

Told you…..
