Homemade SUBWAY White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies 白巧克力夏威夷豆软曲奇（中英食谱教程）

My girl is a great fan of Subway White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. I wanted to surprise her by baking some copycat version. I am happy with my experiment as the result is quite close to the store bought ones. 

女儿好喜欢吃SUBWAY的白巧克力夏威夷果仁软曲奇，我就在家试做了山寨板的，希望能给她一个惊喜。好开心味道跟Subway店还蛮接近的。

Before you start, may I suggest that you read the important tips given below on how to achieve soft and chewy cookies. Please do not reduce the sugar amount as it will also affect the cookie texture. 

在试做之前，建议您先看以下的重要提示如何才能做出软又有嚼劲的曲奇。请不要降低糖份，因为这也会影响曲奇的软质感。

Quick & Easy Double Chocolate Yogurt Muffins 简易双巧克力优格玛芬 （中英食谱教程）

I have been using this quick and easy muffin recipe all these while especially when I am super busy and do not have much time to bake. This recipe is really a life saver to me as all in all it takes only 30 minutes to churn out a batch of delicious and moist muffins. In this recipe, I only used one single baking tool - the Tovolo dough whisk, to do the job. Yay, less washing to do...especially if you are like me who do not have the luxury of having a helper at home to do all the washing. 

每当超忙碌时，这简易又快速的食谱是我的救星。因为在短短的三十分钟就能烘焙出又湿润又好吃的马芬。

For those who are new to the dough whisk, it is also known as the Danish Dough Whisk or Brotpisker in Danish. It is an essential tool for all bakers as it can do chores like mixing muffin batter, mixing heavy dough prior to kneading and other batters which you don't want to beat for fear of toughening your bakes. This specialized baking tool is also easier to wash compared to a hand whisk. 

You may click on the following links to check out my youtube videos how this tool was used: 

1. Cranberry Yogurt Muffins - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxZ4sjnObs8

2. Wholemeal Cranberry Cream Cheese Non-Knead Buns

在这你会看到我用了好特别的面团手搅拌器也被称为丹麦面团手搅拌器或Brotpisker(丹麦语)，是烘焙者的必备工具。它可以迅速地把材料混合成面糊，不怕面糊搅拌过头而出筋，也可以把面包材料轻易的混合成面团，再进行搓揉，跟打蛋器比，容易清洗多了！

想看搅拌器的实际操作过程可按以下的连接到Youtube观看我的视频。

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns 巧克力热十字面包 （中英食谱教程）

Have not been baking bread using the oven for quite some time (been relying on my breadmaker to churn out loaves on alternate days though) and I wanted to bake a batch of chocolate chips hot cross buns for Good Friday. However, it turned out to be chocolate hot cross buns instead! As I have added cold Hershey's chocolate chips (left half a pack and was kept in fridge), it must have melted during the kneading process in the breadmaker. Despite this, the buns turned out to be so soft and delicious and my girl commented that it tasted like Petite Provence chocolate wassants! 

好久没用烤箱烤面包了，（不过每隔一天还是会用面包机来做面包的），昨天的受难日正想烤一批巧克力豆热十字面包来吃。谁知道竟然烤出巧克力十字面包来！应该是用了从冰箱拿出来的Hershey's 巧克力豆（剩下半包所以保存在冰箱里），在面包机搓揉阶段时融化了，变成巧克力面团。即使这样，面包做出来很柔软又好吃！女儿说，吃起来味道很像Petite Provence 面包店卖的巧克力小面包呢！

Melt-In-Mouth Oreo Chocolate Chip German Cookies​ ​ 入口即化奥利奥巧克力豆德国酥饼 (中英食谱教程)

How's your Lunar New Year so far?  I have a great time spent with family visiting relatives and close friends during the first 4 days of Chinese New Year (CNY). We had a long weekend to celebrate this year as the first and second day of the Lunar New Year fell on Thursday (19 Feb) and Friday (20 Feb). It was great catching up with one another over sumptuous meals and CNY goodies. 

The CNY lasts for 15 days and we've got another week before it ends but my homebaked goodies are already running low in stock. (Click here to check out my CNY recipes) Today, I created another flavour of the melt-in-the-mouth German cookies since my family just can't get enough of it. Here's sharing another great flavour which you MUST try, I guarantee you will love it just as much as my other sweet and savoury ones!  

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies 花生酱巧克力豆饼干 （中英食谱教程）

When Amy of CHOCOLATE-CHIP-SISTERS.COM approached me few days ago to try out their range of premium chocolates in my bakes, I was more than happy to do so. Being a dark chocolate lover, I must have my daily dose of dark chocolate as it keeps me happy and healthy. Besides that, the Malagos Chocolates which I have received are 100% pure and natural, NO gluten, Non-GMO, No preservatives or artificial colouring, No dairy and No nuts. It is also of single-origin made from ethically grown and processed beans that have been carefully graded (according to international standards), fermented and solar-dried. That gives it a distinct flavour as is expected of chocolates that come from a single kind which makes any bake or drink stands out. 

Oreo Cheese Cupcakes Video Tutorial 奥利奥芝士杯子蛋糕 (中英食谱视频教程 )

If you have read my last post on the Black Bottom Cupcakes, you would have known that I felt really sorry for dropping the birthday cake that I have made for my son's 7th birthday last Sunday. To make up for this, I have baked a batch of Oreo cheese cupcakes for him and try to fulfil what he had requested earlier on - an Oreo Cream Cheese cake. Together with my girl, we have decorated it and transformed it into cute animals as she wanted to surprise her little brother. Some looked like mice, some looked like doggies, what do you think? :D

上一个帖子，我有提到我不小心把做个儿子的生日蛋糕掉落在地上，感到好愧疚喔！都是因为赶时间和太累的关系，所以导致儿子要求的奥利奥芝士蛋糕给砸烂了！还好他蛮懂事，还反过来安慰我说没关系，我们还有之前做的黑底杯子蛋糕呢！为了补偿我的过失，做了这些奥利奥芝士杯子蛋糕给他。女儿为了给弟弟惊喜，还帮我把它打扮一番，变成可爱的小动物呢！ 有些看起来像小老鼠，有些像小狗，你认为呢？

One week March school holiday has ended, I am so glad that the kids are back to school today. Last night, I baked this loaf of matcha white chocolate bread using the breadmaker so that my kids can bring to school for breakfast. I have added my favourite Matcha powder and white chocolate chips to Wu Pao Chun's (吴宝春) champion toast recipe which I tried few days ago. This is my first time trying this combination of Matcha and white chocolate and it turns out great!

This year I have very little time to bake up a storm of chinese new year goodies like I did last year as my new dry kitchen has just completed renovation last week. I have wanted to make the all time favourite melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts but I do not have much time. I have chosen a simple cookie recipe to bake for my family. This cookie is a Famous Amos copycat. 

Digestive Cake with Cranberry & Chocolate Chips

As I have a packed of opened McVities Digestive biscuits in my fridge which was expiring soon, I decided to make a cake out of it. I  recalled a Digestive cake recipe which my friend Joyce shared with me some time ago. This cake has a drier texture, my girl likes it but I prefer a moist cake, will try adding more milk if I bake this again.
