Today I finally baked some Sugar cookies i've been really into baking lately with Christmas just around the corner im finding new recipes to try out this one came from Pinterest
They are so easy to make they only take about 5 minutes with prep creaming together the sugar butter and vanilla extract then adding the flour and the christmas sprinkles
The Ingredients are
1 Cup of softened butter
2 cups of self raising flour
1 Large egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 cup and 1/4 cup of white sugar
Since its the 1st day of December I thought it would be a good time to try out this recipe I found on TikTok its a soft gingerbread cookie dough that is full of white chocolate chips I also added some milk chocolate chips toon
Firstly make sure your pastry is at room temp this is crucial for the dough to move in the shape you want it to be
Add your Nutella spread in between 2 pieces of puff pastry cut lines about medium thickness not to thin and not too thick add the pastry onto the skewer and add your egg wash to have that gorgeous brown colour
For the Cherry jam ones you use the same process as the Nutella ones just with jam instead
bake for 20 minutes on 160 fan forced
sprinkle some icing sugar or cinnamon sugar onto each tree
These turned out so cute I'll be making more of these over the festive holidays

To make these you will need
2 box mixes of good quality chocolate brownie mix i like to use the triple chocolate fudge ones of these brownies as you get a mix of milk white & dark chocolate throughout the brownies
6 Large Eggs
half a stick of butter melted and cooled
2 bags of Christmas m&ms
festive sprinkles
Pre heat your oven to 165 fan forced
you need to cook these brownies slow & on a low heat to cook gradually I like to do this method as you get a super soft chewy brownie as that's my favourite kind of brownie
The time to cook these would be about 1 hour and a half as I've added 2 box mixes I like to make sure all of the chocolate batter is cooked properly and you don't have a runny batter throughout

In todays post I'm sharing my mum's recipe for Chocolate Crackles these are a massive party treat from the 90's that are still a hit today for any get together they are also so easy to make and really nice in the summer weather as these are a chilled dessert treat
The first thing you will need is
4 cups of Rice bubbles
4 Tbsp of cadbury bournville cocoa powder
1 cup of icing sugar
1 cup of desiccated coconut
250 grams of Copha oil cut into pieces " you need to melt the copha in a small saucepan we melted ours in the microwave for 8 minutes on low
you need to mix all of the dry ingredients together once the Copha is melted add that in the dry mix and place the mixture into patty pans
I added some Christmas sprinkles and some icing Santa's and gingerbread men on the top
you need to let these set in the fridge for at least 4 hours until they are hard to the touch

1 egg
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon , ground ginger & cloves
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of hot water
the mixture may look very runny & that is normal they bake into soft gingerbread
Grab a mixing bowl & cream the butter add your molasses & spices and cream until its a soft brown colour then add your icing sugar little bit by bit
These are so moist & that buttercream frosting is so creamy & full of that gingerbread flavour
