Peanut Butter Filled Cookies

Peanut Butter Filled Cookies

You can probably tell I'm really into both cookies (aka biscuits in the UK) and chocolate! In fact if I had to pick only one dessert/treat that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be some sort of biscuit dipped or covered in chocolate! I posted these biscuits on my blog a couple of years ago, but I decided to make them again, film them and take new shots since my photography skills have improved somewhat compared to when I first posted the recipe. These peanut butter filled cookies are both vegan and gluten-free. They're also really easy to make! A crunchy biscuit, topped with a simple 2 ingredient peanut butter centre, all dipped in dark [...]

Tahini Cardamom Cookies

Tahini Cardamom Cookies

A crunchy cookie flavoured with cardamom, cinnamon and tahini. I created these tahini cardamom cookies especially for Eid (which is this Sunday/Monday depending on the sighting of the moon). This is the third year in a row where I make a cookie recipe to celebrate Eid. A couple of years ago I made my healthified Kleicha/date cookies recipe (which is probably my favourite recipe on the blog to date!) and last year I made another version of cardamom cookies without the tahini and with a few different variations, but still equally as delicious! I used tahini instead of oil to add lots of goodness and flavour making these tahini cardamom cookies oil-free. They're also vegan (no eggs, milk or butter) [...]

5-Ingredient Chocolate Filled Cookie Cups

5-Ingredient Chocolate Filled Cookie Cups

Yummy no-bake cups filled with lush chocolate spread. These 5-ingredient chocolate filled cookie cups are so easy to make and so indulgent! Quick and easy recipes with few ingredients has become my thing! I personally prefer making recipes that take no time at all to make. I try to use healthier ingredients, but every now and then I like to indulge in a not-so-healthy treat because I hate the idea of restricting my diet and not enjoying food and life! It's been a really difficult year for everyone and we're all looking for small comforts to make our days feel less stressful. Making an easy treat like these chocolate cups can be very therapeutic - good for both the mind [...]

Caramel Chocolate Doughnut Cookies

Caramel Chocolate Doughnut Cookies

A fun recipe using silicon doughnut moulds. These caramel chocolate doughnut cookies are a fun take on Twix bars and made with healthier ingredients! Twix meets doughnuts! A doughnut shaped biscuits (aka cookie) with a layer of caramel all dipped in chocolate. The crunchy biscuit with the sweet caramel goes so well with the bitter dark chocolate coating and there's just a pinch of salt in the caramel to help intensify the flavour. All topped with a drizzle of caramel and crunchy nuts to make it look super pretty. I've made a couple of doughnut shaped desserts in the past that aren't actually doughnuts. I do love the idea of using doughnut silicon moulds to make something more creative and [...]

Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies

Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies

Crunchy sweet cookies dipped in dark chocolate...I can't imagine anything better than these chocolate covered tahini cookies! There is no question in my mind that crunchy cookies (aka biscuits as we refer to them here in the UK) always win over soft ones as far as I'm concerned. There is just something so so SO satisfying about digging your teeth into a hard cookie and hearing that crunch. So good! What makes a cookie even better is dipping it in chocolate. It takes it to a whole new level and makes something delicious even more so! I used my tahini cardamom cookie recipe, used a smaller cookie cutter, dipped it in chocolate and drizzled some more tahini on top for [...]

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

* This post is sponsored by Juice Plus+* An easy snack that requires few ingredients and steps - these protein cookie dough cups are no-bake and super tasty! I’ve always loved adding protein powder to my treats and snacks as you can easily bump up the nutrient content. Sweetened protein powders also add lots of flavour without having to add too much sweetener or not needing to add any at all! It’s a great alternative to flour in baking, but I prefer to use it in no-bake recipes as I feel the taste comes through a lot better. I created this recipe using Complete Vanilla Shake by Juice Plus+®, which is completely vegan and dairy-free. High in protein with some healthy [...]
