This recipe makes classic cookies - they're flat, chewy in the middle and crispy at the edges. Try to eat at least one while they're still a bit warm. There's no need to chill this dough, but you can prepare it a couple of days ahead and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to bake. It freezes well too, so you can form it into flattened balls and bake straight from the freezer. Coffee, Date & Walnut Cookies

These are very dark & decadent, using bitter chocolate and a coffee liqueur - such as Tia Maria or Kahlua. This recipe makes dense, fudgey brownies. If you prefer them a little more cakey in texture, add an extra quarter teaspoon of baking powder and bake for 5-10 minutes more.

For me, Blondies should be made with melted white chocolate in the mixture - just as a Brownie has melted dark chocolate. This recipe gives a fudgy texture. If you prefer them more cakey, add an extra quarter teaspoon of baking powder and leave them in the oven a little bit longer.
