This is No-Dairy version of my ‘Soft Lemon Cookies’. I used Sunflower Oil instead of Butter, and I increased the amount of Flour as I used a Whole Egg today. These cookies turned actually crispy unlike the original Soft Cookies made with Butter. If you prefer softer cookies, take them out early. Makes 22 Cookies …
My ‘Melting Moment’ cookies are custard shortbread, that is made with Custard Powder. Since I discovered that good quality Custard Powder contains only Corn Starch, Salt, Flavour from Milk, natural Yellow Colour from the Achiote tree seeds and nothing artificial, I have been using it to replace Corn Starch, and also to add yellow colour …

I have been always interested in American style flat looking Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have compared those recipes with my own recipe. The major differences are the amount of Flour and the amount of Sugar. American recipes require much less Flour and a lot more Sugar. None of the recipes that I checked uses Self-Raising …
The other day, I added leftover Cream Cheese to my Lemon Cookies. Cookies were not sweet enough. That’s because Cream Cheese was added, and also I added extra Flour as the dough became awfully soft.

Old fashioned Buckwheat Cookies are still available to purchase in Japan. Store-bought Buckwheat Cookies are mostly likely made with Buckwheat Flour and also Wheat Flour.

So I tried with my Basic Cookie Dough recipe, replacing Egg with mashed Banana. Cookies turned quite soft as expected. Today I tried again. I …
I made Black Forest Cake for my son’s birthday and there was some leftover whipped Cream. To use up leftover whipped Cream, I often make ‘Instant Chocolate Mousse’.
