Happy Valentines biscuits

Happy Valentines day to everyone! hope you are spreading the love in every way you can. if you live in rome most public museums and galleries are 2 for the price of one today so take advantage! finally i got round to using my winnie the pooh cookie cutters and say happy valentines day at the same time. have a great day everyone xxx

to all those i love around the world, i would have loved to give you each a biscuit but it will have to be a digital one. im afraid it doesnt take quite the same xxx

my valentine

little pig little pig

and to my dear family. you are always in my heart. i wanted to mail these to you but then i worked out that it takes 3 weeks or 40euros to get to you and they would either be very expensive or very stale biscuits when they reached you and i couldnt justify either of those options so i ate them in your honour like you ate my birthday cake for me! xxx

Everybody's favourite Chocolate chip cookies

these will always be welcome. chewy, soft , eat them straight from the oven or leave them in jars on your counter top to tempt you when you walk past

i used white and dark chocolate chips but you can use whichever chocolate you prefer.
walnuts, hazelnuts or pecan nuts would also taste delicious in this biscuit

this is one biscuit i can never make enough of. within a day or so, they are all finished.
