These cookies are crumbly, soft pieces of deliciousness that break apart at the touch and melt in the mouth. I prefer to use some cinnamon in the dough because it adds that extra aroma that is so enticing when the cookies bake. I like to shape them like biscuits because they are then that much easier to dunk in a glass of cold milk….absolutely heavenly, trust me

Bake the swirl bread at this temperature for about 30-35 minutes till the top is a nice golden brown. Oh, and I tell you….the aroma…hmmm….ambrosia! I kid you not.

Although dessert means different things to different people, there are some to whom it just means one thing – chocolate!

I think there are probably very few kids who do not like Oreos! Those delicious, dunkable cookies are the best treat (that’s what my kids say) to have with a glass of chilled milk. So, sometimes, I love to bake them as brownies. Trust me, they make for such lovely brownie treats to satiate those late night sweet cravings. And, they taste a million times better than the regular fudge brownies.

My recipe is a basic recipe for making Brownies. To spice things up you can add ¼ tsp of red chilli powder to the brownie batter or you can toast some almonds/walnuts and add those (about 2 tbsp of any). To toast the nuts preheat oven to 180 deg C and then bake the nuts on a baking tray for about 8 minutes. Cool and then roughly chop them up.

There is a decadence to chocolate desserts that is unmatched by any other. At least my teenage daughter thinks so. According to her, a dessert is not a dessert unless it has chocolate in it, the darker the better.
