[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Impress Santa (and your family) with these Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies 🍪, perfect for gifting and of course for personal consumption 😆😋🎅🏻

These are so easy to make and my go to for Christmas, especially because they store well, easy to package and highly customizable. At times, I also added in chopped almonds or to coat them with a light layer of dark chocolate for extra indulgence 🍫🌰 I also like letting my creativity run wild with all the cute little cookie cutters I have. I can imagine I won’t be the only one 😂

I hope you will like this recipe, and stay tuned for more Christmas recipes to come this festive season - Ho Ho Ho 🎄

Ingredients
- 230g Butter, Unsalted
- 115g of Powdered Sugar, Sift if clumpy
- Pinch of Salt
- 10ml of Vanilla Essence
- 300g of All-Purpose Flour, Sifted (+ More for rolling)
- 150g of Dark Chocolate Chips (+/- 50g, to personal preference)

Instructions
1. Cream together the butter and powdered sugar until well-combined (about 2 minutes).
2. Next, whisk in the vanilla and salt. Then, fold in the sifted flour and dark chocolate chips.
3. Roll out the batter between two sheets of parchment paper; flour if you need to.
4. Next, use your cookie cutters to make your desired shapes.
5. Once done, bake at 180 degrees C for 10.5 mins to 13 mins or until browned around the edges. You might have to adjust the baking time accordingly depending on how big your cutters are.
6. Then, let cool for 10 minutes before serving - super easy!

I was a baking judge for a junior bake off over the past two weeks, with children between 5 to 17 years old across multiple baking categories and here’s what goes behind 😆🍪

Like many of you, my first impression of judging was to simply show up and to sample foods but it’s actually not so simple! For our fair assessment and criteria, we also look at factors including technique and creativity behind each step. Additionally, and to better support our aspiring young bakers, we step in to do demonstrations and to help them in operating a couple of things that might be dangerous for them - such as operating a high speed blender. ‼️

Overall, it was an absolutely fulfilling experience. You still have some time too and to vote for these aspiring young bakers on the YoRipe app should you be keen - you can drop me a message too if you would like tofind out more on how to do this 😄

Happy mid week, and cheers to our amazing young bakers and their dreams!

Dreams rise just like cakes 🎂🌟 Speaking at N

Dreams rise just like cakes 🎂🌟 Speaking at Nas Summit (@nassummit ) as part of Singapore Media Festival (@madewithsg ), I shared about my story behind Bakeomaniac, where baking meets community and creativity 🧑🏻‍🍳

Bakeomaniac has always been about more than recipes. It’s about flavors that hit close to home (such as my Pandan Hot Milk Cake! 🍰), baking made easy (and not too sweet, but so satisfying), and the joy of sharing the hobby of baking. Whether it’s guiding you mid-bake or celebrating your kitchen wins, I am always happy to be sharing.

To my guinea pigs (aka friends, family, and the brave souls who try my experiments)—thank you for believing in my wildest recipes. To the brands and partners who value passion and creativity—thanks for your support and in believing in the same values as I do!

Here’s to more delicious moments, one bite and one connection at a time. 💛

Let’s rise together! 🌟 And thank you everyone for making it possible (will be sharing more about this later on!)

[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Up your cookie game this

[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Up your cookie game this Christmas with these stuffed cookies 🍪🎄I am using my @bonnemaman_sg Hazelnut Spread and Peanut Spread - they’re both simply delightful, with high percentage of nuts and palm oil free 🌰🥜 who can resist? I couldn’t, and I am sure Santa can’t too!

My tips for making the best gooey centered cookies? Don’t over bake, and next, make sure to freeze your spread! I also like to refrigerate my cookies for a short blast for an extra boost of flavours 😋

P.S. These cookies pair wonderfully with a hot cup of Milo or teh tarik – a cozy treat for our tropical Christmas vibes 🎅🌴 Make a batch and impress your friends at the next potluck or office party – they’ll thank you for it!”

Ingredients
- 125g butter
- 125g brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk (you can use the whole egg if doubling recipe)
- 45ml flavourless vegetable oil, such as canola or sunflower
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 200g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp (2g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 150g dark chocolate chips
- At least 300g of your favourite spread, mine is Bonne Manam!

Steps
1. Place the spread in the freezer for an hour to solidify for easier scooping later!
2. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Then whisk in egg and vanilla until single consistency, before whisking in vegetable oil.
3. Fold in plain flour, baking powder and baking soda and chocolate chips. Refrigerate batter for 30 mins.
4. Place 1 tbspn of cookie dough as the first layer, followed by a 1 tbspn layer of spread, and then finish off with another layer of 1 tbsp cookie dough. Roll to ensure the spread won’t leak, and flatten slightly on parchment paper.
5. Bake at 180C for 10 - 12 mins till golden brown, do not overbake or the spread will be less gooey!
6. Serve and enjoy!

[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Cheesy Pull Apart Bread,

[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Cheesy Pull Apart Bread, the perfect savoury food to impress anyone in a Christmas gathering 🧀🍞 I achieved this dreamy cheese stretch thanks to the quality craftsmanship and award-winning cheeses from @cheesefromtheusa.sea nestled in a soft and fluffy bun ☁️

My choice of cheeses, and I switch up (1) and (2) in the buns for a mix of flavours for my guests 😋
(1) Sierra Nevada Garlic & Herb Creamy Jack Cheese @sierranevadacheese
(2) Point Reyes TomaTruffle @pointreyescheese
(3) Cowhead Cream Cheese @cowhead_official

Of course, these are best enjoyed warm, and enjoy stretching your cheeses!

Ingredients
- 300g plain flour
- 150g bread flour
- 20g sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 7g yeast
- 315ml water, + up to 355ml
- 30g olive oil, for coating bottom of bowl
- At least 250g of cheese, cubed
- 1 egg + herbs of choice and pepper, for egg wash

Instructions
1. Mix together plain flour, bread flour, sugar and salt. Then, mix in the yeast.
2. Mix in the water and hand / machine knead until the dough no longer sticks to the base of the bowl, best to use the windowpane test by taking a ball of dough and stretching it as per the video!
3. Transfer the dough to a well-oiled (using olive oil) large bowl and sprinkle water on top of it. Cover and leave to proof until doubled in size, approx an hour. In the meanwhile, chop up the cheeses!
4. Deflate the dough and using 25g of dough for each ball, flatten and place in a cube of cheese before rolling it up. Piece together a desired shape - I chose a Christmas tree! I let the dough rise a little further of 10 mins after I place the last bread.
5. Apply an egg wash, with herbs and pepper, and bake at 180C for 21 - 24 mins or until nicely golden brown.
6. Serve and enjoy! Best eaten warm!

[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Kuih Talam Pandan - my fa

[Recipe in Caption/Blog] Kuih Talam Pandan - my favourite two layered Kuih 💚🤍 This Kuih comes with a harmony of fresh pandan and coconut, with an amazing almost melt-in-your-mouth texture 🤤🥥 The bottom layer is Pandan, while the top is Coconut!

For those new to my Kuih series:
(1) Kuih are known as small / delicate desserts in Msia, Indo, SG
(2) “Talam” means tray, and Kuih Talam refers to the traditional method of preparing, serving it in a flat tray, in little squares or rectangles 🟩

I have also included a negative example of the Kuih consistency (created when I was distracted by a delivery 😅) - don’t end up like me!

Let me know if you’ve any questions!

Recipe

Pandan Layer (Bottom)
- Pandan Juice (330ml Water + 10 - 15 Pandan leaves)
- 140g Rice flour
- 30g Mung bean flour
- 30g Tapioca Flour / Starch
- 1/2 Tsp Alkaline Water
- 150ml Water
- 140g White sugar

Coconut Layer (Top)
- 300ml Coconut Milk, 30g rice flour, 30g tapioca flour / starch, 100g water

Instructions
1. Pandan juice: Blend pandan leaves (cut) with water and then strain
2. Pandan layer: In a saucepan, mix all ingredients including pandan juice until of a single consistency
3. At medium heat, heat while stirring until the batter and bottom start thickening. The consistency should still be smooth and not doughy (video)
4. Pour pandan layer into a 7 inch square tray. I oil the tray before placing a parchment paper
5. Steam at medium-high, 20 - 25 minutes until it is firm to a spoon’s touch and bouncy. In the meanwhile, prepare the coconut layer
6. Coconut layer: whisk all ingredients in a medium-sized sauce pan, and over medium low heat, constantly stir and heat until the bottom starts thickening. Similar technique to (3)
7. Transfer coconut layer in spoonfuls or a gentle pour (not to disturb the pandan layer). Continue steaming at medium high heat, 18 - 25 mins until firm to a spoon’s touch and slightly bouncy
8. Remove from the steamer, set aside to cool for 2 hours
9. Then, slice using a plastic knife or a well-oiled small metal knife

[Recipe in Caption / Blog] The Purr-fect Earl Grey

[Recipe in Caption / Blog] The Purr-fect Earl Grey Banana Loaf, flavourful and fluffy, with a paw of approval from Croissant the Curious Cat 🥐🐱 (Note and just in case, no you can’t feed cats these loaves!)

Each slice is comforting, moist and fluffy, and goes so well with honey and jam 😋 these are also easy to make and all I did was to steel my milk with earl grey tea.

Shoutout to Croissant, my sister’s and brother in law’s adorable cat for this collaboration over a restful weekend 🐈🥱 a nice break from the busy Singapore city life!

Ingredients
- 115g Unsalted Butter, Melted and Cooled
- 125g White Sugar
- 2 Large Egg, each weiging 60g, Room Temp
- 5ml of Vanilla Essence
- 150ml Milk, at room temperature
- 3 Bags of Earl Grey Tea (Loose Tea leaves work too)
- 2 Medium Large Bananas, Mashed, total about 180g or slightly more than 1/2 cup
- 180g All Purpose Flour, sift if needed
- 6g Baking Soda, sift if needed
Honey and jam! Strongly recommended

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C and line your loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs. I am using a 9 x 5 inches loaf pan.
2. Steep the 3 bags of earl grey tea in 150ml of milk until it the tea’s flavours are well infused into the milk. Remove the bags of earl grey and set aside to cool.
3. Mix together the melted butter with the sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Then, whisk in the 2 eggs and vanilla.
4. Add in the mashed bananas and earl grey milk and stir until of a single consistency.
5. Next, sift and mix in the all-purpose flour and baking soda until batter is smooth. Do not over mix!
6. Pour into your loaf pan and tap against the counter a few times to even out the mixture and to get rid of excess air.
7. Bake at 180 degrees C for about 48-53 minutes or until nicely golden brown where a toothpick inserted into the center will come out clean.
