Burnt butter brown sugar cookie sandwiches. With nutella filling. I adore brown sugar cookies. My preference over regular sugar cookies. As I was going to make these, it hit me that the theme of the month was burnt butter (Edit: Actually, the theme is burnt sugar. My bad haha). And I mean, you hear all about burnt butter brown sugar cupcakes... it could translate into a cookie, right? Right. Now, I still prefer the cupcake. But these cookies were delightful too. Just a slight nutty taste in the end result. And the nutella... *moans* just makes the cookie that much more. You only need a very thin glaze of nutella however. Too much would overwhelm the cookie, in my opinion. All and all, loved the product. I ended up eating about five as I was putting the sandwiches together. Hehe, shh though. Boyfriend is curious as to why I have no appetite tonight. Didn't have the heart to tell him I stuffed myself full of cookies. :D

My breakfast this morning is a mini cherry pie. I made these a few nights ago. And I finally got around to uploading them to my computer. So, I thought I would share my pie with you... and another goody ;)

Christmas is one of the many joyous occasions that gives me the perfect reason/opportunity to bake! This year, I didn't feel adventurous enough so I stuck to safe options like.. cookies, cupcakes, pies and all that jazz.. 

p/s: Feel free to ask me for the recipes!

This recipe is from Donna Hay and i got them from bakingbites.com

It looks fantastic but its taste is rather let-down. Maybe because it's a cupcake but everyone mistook this as a muffin and commented that it was too dry. I tried the recipe again and aded a tablespoon of milk and a dollop of nutella in between in hope of making the pastry a little more moist.

This failed and i'm hoping you guys can help improve on this recipe!

I've been lurking for a little bit, but I finally decided to post!
Just a couple of things I've whipped up recently, both including chocolate. Mmmm, chocolate =D
With recipes if anyone is interested =]

( Onward! )

I was asked at around 10:00 pm tonight to bake a cake for a group of people I'm visiting tomorrow (leaving at 7 am in the morning!)  It was a frenzied rush to finish, but here it is:

my dad came home from a business buffet dinner to a chocolate cake with the oven's warm breath still upon it and he said it was far better then the array of cakes he had at the buffet so i'm one really happy kid :)

anyway, i posted it at my personal blog too but i think it'll be better appreciated here :) hope everyone has a wonderful father's day!

Chocolate hazelnut mousse-like cake topped and slathered with dark chocolate ganache and dotted with milk chocolate spots.
ps. i'm going for a walk now because this cake is not diet-friendly: it's basically dark chocolate, butter, nutella, ground nuts and eggs. but it's worth every calorie, i promise :)

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions yesterday! In the end, I decided to play with the recipe here, apparently originally posted by helgarde. Thanks crankyspank!

Recipe

I got this idea from another forum I frequent. Take a tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls and unroll them as usual... Then spread them with a small amount of nutella, or jam, or a bit of each, before rolling them up and baking them. Verdict: delicious!

hi! anyone got some dessert recipes involving nutella? either as a frosting or in a cake or anything!

There were a bunch of super ripe bananas laying around the house, so I finally got an excuse to bake something! ;)

i was tempted to bake while i was feeling a little under the weather a few days back but i was disgusted at the thought that my end product would be infested with my sick germs. feeling very much better after a few days of popping pills, i finally decided to succumb to the temptation.

( nutella cupcakes. )

( Choux pastry puffs and home-made Nutella. *_* )

Chocolate & hazelnuts & flaky pastry > just about everything

Sooo, I got home and went into the kitchen to search for food, and decided to experiment, and huzzah, a Nutella cookie recipe was born!
