The Cookie Recipe You've Been Waiting For + 11 Days To Go 🥳

Published 5 days ago • 2 min read

hi there Reader

strawberries & cream cookies

When I was dreaming up a new cookie recipe to add to our Cookie Collection, I couldn’t stop thinking about berries. I landed on creating a beautiful Strawberries And Cream Cookie from scratch.

So I conducted a cookie experiment, making the same cookie dough three times – but one with fresh berries, one with frozen berries and one with freeze-dried berries.

The truth is, they all worked. But the cookie dough with fresh berries was wet and harder to work with - same for the frozen ones. The cookies were also a bit soggy.

But the freeze-dried berries worked beautifully, without sacrificing that buttery, soft and chewy texture we all know and love. So I got to work and created the ultimate dessert cookie.

Buttery golden cookie dough stuffed with freeze-dried strawberries and big chunks of white chocolate.

But I couldn’t stop there! I also added a super simple whipped cream to make these into gourmet frosted cookies that look like they’ve stepped out of your favourite cookie bakery.

This recipe was inspired by two things: America's Milk Bar Bakery and the delicious treats I grew up with in Australia called Honey Joys. A few...

Homemade Cheese Scones

hi there Reader cheese scones Remember when I went to New Zealand two months ago? I ate my weight in cheese scones over there just so I could come home and recreate a fantastic Cheese Scone recipe for you. You Are Welcome. Well I've done it. It's finally here. And it does NOT disappoint. Just like the ones I had in NZ, these small but tall scones are filled with flaky layers and feature a crispy cheesy top. And remember how we learnt with my Buttermilk Scone recipe that a good homemade scone...
