In need of a hero?

Is there any better rescuer 

than a deliciously

chocolately and 

seriously decadent

cookie?

Here is my recipe for one 

of my best selling cookies:

the chocolate hero.

The art of all good dough

making, needs care, love 

and quick working 

to ensure the dough is 

not overworked.

And any dough maker 

will tell you that 

the more times you 

make it 

the better your

"feel" for the dough.

Things like egg size (I use large)

and humidity in the air

can all effect the outcome 

of the biscuit.

You may need to adjust the flour 

accordingly and lots of

practice will 

help you "read" the dough.

So practice away, 

eat some warm from the oven, 

experiment with adding other ingredients

(macadamias are a great addition)

and 

please share my recipe 

(not cookies - they can make their own lol)

with loved ones.

Little, sweet and local.

A leisurely stroll 

to our local growers market

is a treat in itself 

on beautiful 

Sunday morning, 

but to discover our

favourite baker and 

all round gorgeous gal

Megan, from 

littlesweet baking

there was 

the icing on the cake!

With her beautiful 

lemon syrup cakes and 

chocolate mini cakes 

with homemade 

nutella frosting, 

it meant the big kids 

were in cake heaven too.

Her biscuits are also amazing.

The crunchy, honey Anzacs

with macadamias are divine

and the ginger biscuits with 

couverture chocolate are

incredibly moreish.

Fresh juices, coffee and 

heaps of newly picked

fruit and vege

direct from the grower - 

make this a great morning to be

out and about.

Sweet little Christmas.

For the brownies I 

prefer mine to be more 

dense and fudgy rather 

than cakey.
