Rainbow Cookies

June 22, 2012

I promise these are the last biscuits for a while. I am going to turn into a biscuit if not! The weather has been spectacularly drizzly in Ireland so far this summer. I wore a polo neck and winter boots the other day. It is turning into yet another Irish summer – rain with intermittent showers. When the weather is like this, it’s hard to drag yourself out of the slump. So, to cheer myself up I made these extremely bright and colourful rainbow cookies. How can you resist them! I especially like the fact that they are lying on a blue table cloth, so it looks like a glimpse of blue sky. Hope these rainbow cookies cheer you up, wherever you may be. Continue Reading…

Somehow it spoke to me and I always wished we had Jammie Dodgers at home in our cupboard. Continue Reading…

Last week was the first time I had ever baked for my own sweet stall! It was certainly an adventure and also a great learning experience. I have a whole new respect for the amount of work that goes into producing food for a market stall. The hardest part, it has to be said, was the shopping and hauling my giant stash of sugar to the car! The theme of the market was “Guilty Pleasures” and was all about those sweet and salty snacks that we all love from time to time. My guilty pleasures were honeycomb clusters, coconut bites and some delicious biscuits. Continue Reading…
