Sweet and Simple Bakes Monthly Bake Round-Up ~ Cranberry, Pecan and White Chocolate Cookies

Sorry for the delay in posting the round-up but I've been unwell with a cold. As you all know I have been managing Sweet and Simple Bakes since Rosie's on-going back problems and unfortunately due to other commitments I need to take a break. I am not sure when I will be able to get back to committing to the monthly bakes. I am sorry if it comes as a disappointment and I am sure you can understand the situation. Be assured we will let you all know when we return. Many thanks for all your wonderful entries each month and as always your continued support.

I present to you this month’s round-up and what an amazing round-up it has been.I want to thank everyone for all your amazing entries, all your cookies look delish!

Cranberry, Pecan and White Chocolate Cookies

These are the perfect Christmas cookie! I’ve baked different varieties of this combo but this cookie recipe wins hands down. I first made these cookies last Christmas and needless to say everyone simply loved them and I received many compliments. These soft but chewy cookies are a gorgeous combination of smooth white chocolate, blended wonderfully with the cranberries, the rolled oats and crunchy pecans. These supreme white chocolate and cranberry bejewelled cookies are the finest you’ll ever taste and they won’t last long. They would make a perfect gift at Christmas, packed in a lovely box and tied with a ribbon.

*If you have any queries or questions, please leave a comment under the recipe and we will endeavour to reply to you as soon as possible.*

Wishing all our bakers a very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

The recipe can be found here.

Snow-Flecked Brownies

This month’s recipe is Snow-Flecked Brownies. We haven’t baked brownies here at Sweet and Simple Bakes and this recipe is my favourite which I make time and time again and one I am sure you will keep making too. These brownies are the essence of decadence, with their gooey chocolate centre, studded with chunks of white chocolate and the final touch, a light dusting of icing sugar for a snowy effect! Perfect for the Christmas season.

*If you have any queries or questions, please leave a comment under the recipe and we will endeavour to reply to you as soon as possible.*

The recipe can be found here.

Please Note: - The posting date for your Snow-Flecked Brownies on your Blog is 1st December 09.

Please ensure you send in your email to us to make certain you are listed in the round up. The round-up will be posted here on 2nd December 09. If you are a food blogger, we kindly ask that you write a post about your bake and link back to Sweet and Simple Bakes.
