Whatever your interests, loves and passions, from food to flower-arranging, in this digital age blogs are a great way to keep up to date with the latest news, trends and opinions on your favorite subject. Whether you prefer a light-hearted approach or an in-depth and serious site, you can find blogs on just about any topic you care to search for. Of course, here at Gimmee Jimmy’s, our passion is for baking, so we thought we’d share the love and point out a few fabulous cookie baking blogs for you to check out and bookmark – as well as our own, obviously!
This recipe blog is written by sugar-addict, Shelley. She has no formal baking training and tries to post recipes that work well for busy people who don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen perfecting complicated concoctions. Cookies and Cups contains recipes for cookies cupcakes, cakes, fun sweets as well as main meals and much more. There’s well-written instructions, amusing descriptions and brilliant photography that makes these baked goods look absolutely irresistible. If you’re feeling particularly rebellious, try Shelley’s recipe for Trashy Treats, a no-bake rice-krispie bar filled with all things sugary, naughty and bad for you!
Cookie Madness is a simple collection of tried and tested recipes put together over ten years of baking. Cookie-lover Anna is also a fan of cakes, pies, candy, desserts, ice cream and other sugary treats. There are lots of great recipes to try here for anyone who has a sweet tooth. We particularly liked the vast selection of flavored breads and muffins, perfect for all occasions. These cute One-Bite Carrot Muffins are easy to make and full of whole-grains and carroty goodness.
This is a great blog written by a photographer, writer and self-confessed baking addict. That means that this blog is really well-written: rather than just a recipe collection it includes personal anecdotes, chat and interesting nutrition information too, and has lots of photos making Sally’s edible treats look fab. Sally has also published two cookbooks featuring her recipes. Those on a diet will fall in love with these amazing Greek Yoghurt Pineapple Bars. At only 130 calories each they are guilt-free, and these cheesecake-like treats are straightforward to make too, a win all round!
The Way The Cookie Crumbles is another foodie blog written by a cookie lover and photographer. Bridget shares lots of ideas for things to make in the kitchen using natural ingredients rather than kits or mixes, and covers everything from braised beef to coconut cream tart. Here’s an interesting post about Chocolate Chip Cookie Experimentation, and Bridget’s quest to find the perfect cookie combination and the ideal balance between cakey and chewy cookies.
