Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These are Bf’s favourite cookies. They are soft, chewy and full of cinnamon-y goodness. You get old-fashioned rolled oats and plump raisins with every bite. You also get a lot of fiber, so I definitely feel less guilty when I’m munching on these. I forgot to chill the dough before baking so the cookies spread… Continue reading Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I’m a huge fan of salted caramel anything. There’s just something so wonderful about the addition of salt that elevates and deepens the caramel flavor. I’ve had salted caramel tarts, candies, ice cream, macarons and even popcorn before, but never salted caramel cupcakes. I jumped at the chance to make them for a friend’s birthday.… Continue reading Salted Double Caramel Cupcakes

My sister Nene has a massive sweet tooth. While I only crave sweet things when I’m PMS-ing, she snacks on candy pretty much everyday. As I’m typing this, she is at her desk having Oreos. We bought some at London Heathrow before our flight back to Hong Kong, and we both agreed that they taste… Continue reading Sugar Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
