after flicking through some of my cookbooks I spotted the ideal recipe in Jo. Wheatley’s Home Baking. to Christmas’s as a wee girl having the coffee cream chocolates from the tins
I fancied playing around with the cranberry powder in a biscuit recipe and inspired by the custard cream recipe in JoWheatley’s A Passion For Baking (a great recipe by the way, hundred times better than bought custard creams), I decided to replace the custard powder with cranberry powder and tweak the quantities slightly to make a few more biscuits
This means that any cake or biscuit that contains chocolate in either cocoa or sweetie form is going to be an instant winner with me so you can imagine how much I wanted to try these biscuits when I received my copy of 'A Passion for Baking' by JoWheatley and found them
Raspberry Torte, Chocolate Mud Cake, White Chocolate Tiffin, Mini Banoffee Pies, Mini Pistachio Meringues, Mini Coffee and Pecan Macaroons, Vanilla Birthday Cake, Mini Pizzas, Pistachio and Orange Shortbread Hearts, Coconut, Raspberry and White Chocolate Kisses, Boozy Essex Cherry Frangipane Tart and Spiced Apple Steamed Pudding
I needed a good chewy fudgy cookie recipe to make it work so after flicking through some of my cookbooks I spotted the ideal recipe in JoWheatley’s Home Baking
It's OK, it's from the GBBO winner JoWheatley. I have baked her Smartie Cookies numerous time (they don't last long in this house), her Chocolate Tiffin three times (by request from my husband's work colleagues) and lastly her Apple & Blackberry Loaf Cake as I recently came across lots of blackberries whilst walking the dog and couldn't resist picking them
These cookies are from JoWheatley's A Passion for Baking. Fold in the chocolate chunks. To get even sized cookies, I gathered the dough into a ball and halved it
