Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a very Happy Easter. It feels like ages since I’ve done a blog post. At the beginning of this year I planned on writing three posts a week. Two baking themed ones and one crochet/ craft one. March was very busy chez SmartCookieSam and we were away for…

June Baking Update #100bakeschallenge
It’s the beginning of July and I’ve been so behind with my SmartCookieSam blog. It seems I only have time to update it in the school holidays at the moment and that really upsets me as I love doing it. I’ve had a busy time recently and as normal, the blogging gets pushed to the…

Daim Caramel Mini Egg Brownies
The other day I had a great response on social media to the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mini Egg Brownie recipe I posted. I also had lots of compliments about them from my work colleagues who actually got to test them out. Tomorrow, they will be getting an alternative flavour. This time, it’s going to be…

National Oreo Cookie Day
Who likes Oreo cookies? I do, although they’re not my favourite cookie. I like baking with them, though. I like the mini ones best, which are the lunchbox bag ones with six cookies inside.

My Favourite Shortbread
There’s nothing better than a piece of freshly baked shortbread with a cup of tea or coffee. I love baking shortbread. It’s a simple recipe but a delicious one. For my shortbread, you only need 4 ingredients plus any flavour additions. But the plain shortbread, liberally dusted with caster sugar is just perfect. I bake…

Jane’s Patisserie- Book Review.
Over the past couple of years I’ve discovered Jane’s Patisserie website with her delicious, foolproof recipes. Her cheesecake recipes are my absolute go-to, especially as cheesecakes always used to be a disaster when I made them before. Not any more. No more need for gelatine or for baking cheesecakes. I don’t need that with Jane’s…

There are a couple of Brownie recipes in The Great British Bake Off Amazing Cakes which I’ve been really keen to try out. I have my own favourite regular Brownie recipe but I must admit I’ve never made a gluten free brownie before. The Amazing Cakes book has a whole chapter dedicated to Free From…
