They have waded their way through Nigella’schocolate Fudge Cake from my very first post, Nigel Slater’s rich chocolate Brownie, a version of Devils Chocolate cake, Mary Berry’s Christmas Chocolate Mousse Cake, not to mention melting Chocolate Fondants or Chocolate Toffee shortcake
Inspired by the wonderful Nigella Lawson and her book Feast (a charity shop treasure) and using my favourite muffin base from Sally's Baking Addiction I whipped these up in no time one Sunday evening after a really rubbish weekend
Nigella has a great recipe for a chocolate meringue and I opted to make a chocolate ganache instead of using cream and once again decorated it with an abundance of berries
I used Nigella's recipe for chocolate banana muffins as a starting point, and adapted it. Bananas were going overripe in a fruit tray, and nobody fancied eating them
* Recipe adapted from Nigella Express. Using a medium size ice cream scoop and palette knife, scoop up the cookie dough until the ice cream scoop is nearly full the place onto the baking trays spacing well apart
They’re not bulky cakey cookies (Nigella Lawson’s double chocolate ones come to mind) but thinner, chewier ones that do lots of spreading in the oven, so make sure you leave adequate space between them
oil, for greasing your brownie tray. Just as I decided to do a post on lush, gooey chocolate brownies, I was reminded of when getting bake sale notices from my children’s school made me break out into a sweat because I could’nt bake
The origins of this cookie recipe are from the wonderful Nigella Lawson, her Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies (from her Kitchen cookbook), a recipe that I have long since admired for it's light chewy texture
Nigella’s White Chocolate and Cranberry CookiesMini Creme Egg Brownies – Success at Last. Line a baking tray (deep ones work best) with greaseproof paper
The exception is when it comes to the kind of traybakes and cakes you make for children's parties. So when trying to satisfy H's current chocolate craving and needing a retro recipe for those little chocolate cornflake cakes, I was positive that Nigella, as a true domestic goddess would have one
I have made the Cranberry and Oat Cookies from Nigella Christmas many times but I preferred the texture of these Chocolate Chip Cookies so I decided to change it up a bit and add orange to them
