Peanut Butter & Jelly Thumbprints
If you love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or PB&J otters (wait, what?), then you will love these thumbprint cookies! They are so good that the fiancé is once again lecturing me for giving them away to my neighbours. They are also so easy to make and super fun, especially with young children as well. Tip #1, or rather, the most important tip: USE THE MOST BASIC CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER IN ANY SUPERMARKET. Now, I’m not trying to give a bad name to any peanut butter brands out there, but I’d avoid using any expensive ones that are organic or made with unique oil etc. Mainly because these cookies need that strong peanut butter…

Quaker Golden Syrup Oatmeal Cookies
In continuation to the Oats Series, today I am sharing a new recipe to make these scrumptious looking Oatmeal Cookies! 🙂 Unlike any other oatmeal cookie recipes, this recipe specifically requires the Quaker’s Golden Syrup instant oatmeal sachets. These instant oats are pre-flavoured with sweet golden syrup. Futhermore, they give a lovely honey-like smell and flavour – it is my all-time favourite instant oatmeal among all flavours.

Double Chocolate Cookies
I remember the very first time I had a cookie from Ben’s. It was lightly drizzling as we walked along Oxford street – I believe it was only my second time roaming around London streets then.. (who’d knew this bustling city would be where I call home now!) My brother bought some Ben’s cookies for the fam bam, insisting it was the best cookie store in the world. The flavours we got were white chocolate & macadamia, triple chocolate chunk and peanut butter (yes, I still remember exactly what we ordered). The first bite into these freshly baked cookies was a surprise, the second bite was a revelation. Maybe I’ve…

Easy French Macaron Recipe
I won’t lie and say that it has been a busy period, but I will admit that I have definitely been procrastinating as I experienced the Christmas / New Year snooze. I had made plans ahead for Casa Du Duchess, but with the holiday season and Christmas feast(S), I spent so much time watching TV and taking naps. Heck, I had turkey meals 4 days in a row! Uffh. But it is a new year and I am feeling very much motivated again! 🙂 Last Christmas, I really wanted to bake some macarons with a slightly special filling – Bailey’s Irish buttercream! The filling was an experiment that was very…

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Hi peeps! I am very excited to be able to finally share my classic chocolate chip cookies recipe with you. I have experimented with many test batches and received many heartwarming compliments, particularly those from people I have never even met! So if you are looking for a speed dial recipe, you’ve come to the right place. 😉 Now I know chocolate chip cookies should have more chocolate chips, but I replaced most of them with chocolates chunks as they give that wonderful gooey and melted chocolate effect. It is pure goodness and yet deadly sinful once in your mouth…. OOOOH! I do highly recommend chilling your cookie dough…
