    Pound Cake Turned Soft Biscuits

    To make a Pound Cake, I use 125g each Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Flour, instead of 1 pound each, because it is more suitable for my cake tin. The other day, I just wondered what would happen if I double the amount of Flour, so I tried it today. The mixture is much firmer than …

    Pistachio Snowball Cookies

    These delicious cookies can be made with other ground Nuts such as Almonds. Today I used Pistachios, expecting the cookies would turn green, but they didn’t because the Pistachios I used were not really green. Probably they were not good quality. If you use good quality Pistachio that are really green, the cookies would look …

    Pistachio Pinwheel Cookies

    Today I wanted to use up leftover Pistachios that were already ground. First I thought about making Puff Pastry Pinwheel Biscuits, but I didn’t have Puff Pastry.

    Earl Grey Tea Cookies

    You can use your favourite tea leaves, but I like to use Earl Grey. The tea leaves should be finely ground, so tea bags would be the easiest to use. I added the contents of 2 tea bags to my ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’ that can be a fantastic cookie dough. Shortbread dough is also …

    Matcha Snowball Cookies

    These cookies melt in your mouth. I love the delicate powdery texture of these cookies. The cookie dough needs to be dry and just moist enough so that you can form it into balls. DO NOT add more Sugar to the dough because I think it will ruin the flavour. The cookies will get coated …
