Working with Cellardoor Magazine

So I've been a little quiet this week - I did have two recipes baked and ready to share with you but I lost all the pictures! I have literally no idea what I've managed to do, but in trying to get ahead and transfer all the images to my computer I somehow wiped my camera and now I'm left with no pictures! I'm so sad about it, there's something about losing pictures which is just so upsetting but its okay, because I've got some exciting news to share with you today instead - I'm working with Cellardoor Magazine as their food blogger!

This is a really exciting opportunity and means that every week they'll be sharing one of my recipes on their blog. They are a little different to what I post here - a lot less cakey things and a lot more main meals and savoury options. All the dishes are really tasty and I'm loving having an outlet for all the cooking I don't think would fit in on here. 

Head on over and check out Cellardoor's blog - its a lovely mix of interviews, music and style, I've spent many an afternoon scrolling through their lovely posts!

If you'd like to see the recipes specifically then you'll find them here:

Roast Pumpkin Soup

Ginger Spiced Toffee Apple Pie

Creamy Chicken One Pot Pasta

Follow Cellardoor to make sure you don't miss out on a recipe. You can subscribe to the mailing list on the blog, like them on Facebook and follow on Twitter. I'm so excited about this project I'd love for you to be a part of it with me! 

As long as I have no more technical difficulties I'll be back to posting recipes next week :) 

Mars Bar Cookies

These cookies are so good! Sweet, sticky and packed full of chocolatey caramel pieces they make a great treat for a cold afternoon, perfect with a cup of tea and a snuggle on the sofa! 

Ingredients: 

225g butter

220g light brown sugar

100g caster sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tsp salt

320g plain flour

3 full size mars bars, chopped 

Makes 20 cookies

Method: 

1. Preheat oven to 180 . Line 2 large baking trays 

2. Cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.

3. Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt until just combined. Now add the mars bar pieces and fold again until well distributed in the mixture.

4. Place spoonfuls of mixture on the tray spacing well apart to allow for spreading. Using the back of a wet spoon, lightly flatten the tops.

Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the middles just set. Leave on the tray to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.  

These are very sweet, so definitely not something to be eaten everyday, but they are a great thing to bake for a winter treat or special occasion.

I just had to include this picture of chopping the Mars bars, it was just such an enjoyable thing to do!
