Cookie Dough Waffle

Dessert And Sweets

✅ Easy to make This is my favourite experiment so far, I love cookies and I knew this would be a great one to try. Cooking the cookie dough in the waffle maker gave it a caramelised flavour and made them crispier than when baking.

Apple & Cinnamon Pastries

Breakfast, Dessert And Sweets

✅ Easy to make ✅ No added sugar Pastries are a delicious way to start your day, my favourite are puff pastry ones.

The required skills to make these are basic, I used ready rolled puff pastry which is so convenient. These pastries have no added sugar, are super flaky, made in no time and delicious. Here are the ingredients you will need: Ready rolled puff pastry 1 Apple St Dalfour Apple and cinnamon fruit spread Method: Using a cookie cutter, cut circles of approximately 8cm wide, slice your apple and remove the…
