White Chocolate and Strawberry Cookies
My son was off to University a few weeks ago and I asked him what he would like me to bake for him to take with him. He said my brownies and could I make some cookies with white chocolate and freeze dried strawberries as he liked them on the cake I made him for passing his exams. I love a challenge so I made this recipe especially for him, so they are now known as Blake’s University cookies! Line 2 baking trays with parchment and set aside. Put the butter, brown sugar and gr

Rock Buns
Rock buns are similar to a scone but packed with mixed fruit with a rough surface resembling a rock! They are really delicious eaten warm or cold. Rock buns were promoted by the Ministry of Food during the Second World War since they require fewer eggs and less sugar than ordinary cakes, an important savings in a time of strict rationing. My recipe is packed with mixed dried fruit, orange zest and a hint of cinnamon. They are great with a mid-morning cuppa! Jump to recipe To

Orange & Cranberry Shortbread
These shortbread biscuits are an old recipe that I used to make at Christmas for my coffee shop and it was so popular it became a regular on the menu all year round. They have fresh orange and dried cranberries in them so they are delicious over the festive season to keep in the biscuit barrel. These cookies are made as a log of dough then sliced and baked. So they can be made a few days before you need them and kept in the fridge until you want to bake them. Jump to recipe T
