I’ve been craving cookies with lots of oats and nuts lately — specifically, Monster Cookies. However, I already have so many Monster recipes that I decided to try something a little different. Unlike my favorite Monsters (that sounds like a sixties tv show, doesn’t it?), these cookies do not have peanut butter and are baked [...]

Last week during my experiments with glucose syrup, I came across this recipe from the famous Heny Sison culinary school in Manilla. It’s a basic butterscotch bar made with brown sugar, butter, etc., but with the addition of glucose syrup, designed to keep the bars moist and fresh. Saturday I baked a modified half batch of the bars and [...]

I need to make more [...]

This one’s from the Blue Diamond nut company. It’s a brown sugar flavored shortbread topped with sliced almonds and butterscotch chips. The shortbread base is thin but very sturdy and makes a good foundation for the mixture of almonds and butterscotch chips. Did you know Hershey makes butterscotch chips? I didn’t, …
