With their snowy icing sugar tops, crinkle cookies have an unmistakably festive feel to them. This simple recipe from Jane's Patisserie is incredibly easy to make so it's ideal for a Christmas baking session with the kids.
Whenever I see a crinkle cookie, I immediately want to grab one and shove it in my face because they have the most wonderful flavour and texture. I’ve made them for a few years now but have never published a recipe, which is slightly unfair of me I will admit. So here you go… the requests can stop now! These beauties are fun, full of delicious chocolate flavour, and are a great go-to bake for any cookie craving. These are perfect to make with your kids because you can all get a little messy, but also, they are just so tasty you will want to get involved!

In a large bowl, mix the cocoa powder, sugar, oil and eggs together. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until a cookie dough is formed. Chill the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Jane's Patisserie takes a classic dense, spiced ginger cake and reinvents it in loaf form, complete with a spiced icing. We love to bake this recipe throughout the winter months but it's particularly perfect for the festive season.
We love to bring these simple savoury muffins from Jane's Patisserie on a picnic, or to pack them into lunchboxes for a tasty lunch on the go. Studded with feta and fragrant garlic, they're full of flavour.
A lemon meringue pie is one of the most fresh and zingy bakes you can make and my classic recipe features on my blog, but for this book I wanted to improve it if I could and that’s when I came up with individual Mini Lemon Meringue Pies.
I am obsessed with all things ‘blondie’ and these Cinnamon Blondies hit the spot.
I find that a quiche is one of those bakes that lends itself well to lunchtime, dinnertime or even as part of a mid-afternoon snack.
