COFFEE and ROASTED ALMOND BISCOTTI…a handsome combination!
“I am not a glutton, I am an explorer of food” Erma Bombeck Coffee & Roasted Almonds…a handsome combination I have my biscotti moments…at times, I will suddenly alight & set off to make a biscotti with a ‘flavour of the moment‘ off the top of my head. This particular moments’ flavour turned out to be coffee & roasted almonds. A delicious, crisp biscotti! I made these some time ago, & am tempted to set off & bake some now…only problem being that I’ve cut a nerve in the palm of my right hand & am incapacitated as far as baking/cooking goes.

Baking | SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD…Think Spice Cinnamon!
“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Harriet van Horne SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD This is a sweet & spicy shortbread, not the traditional sort, because I made it with brown sugar that gave it a very different texture.

Brownie Cake
IS THIS A CAKE…OR ARE THESE BROWNIES? Well, actually both! A ‘Brownie Cake’ in a basket. Chocolate-walnut brownies baked in a cake tin, and drizzled with chocolate; makes a nice gift from home. Posted by Deeba @ PAB

‘SMARTIE’ Cookies….Having fun with colours!!
The kids love having these as part of their snack boxes or birthday parties. I call ’em ‘Smartie Cookies’. They are sugar cookies, spruced up with either ‘Smarties‘ or ‘M n M’s’, silver dragees and sprinkles. Sometimes, I use a colour theme and dress them up in Halloween or Christmas colours. Crisp, buttery and delicious, they usually disappear in seconds!! Posted by Deeba @ PAB

Almond Butter Cookies
These are some almond butter cookies I made as tasters at a fund-raiser where I put up a stall. They made great samplers, and quite a few enquiries came my way asking if I could do these for finger foods! The silver dragees made them look pretty, and I found the many shades of golden brown interesting. Posted by Deeba @ PAB
