Novel & Cerita Clotted Cream Cookie

These are dark chocolate cookies with macadamia nuts. I blinked. What the hell? She's even stranger than she was on the first day.

“Ooouuu! What's for dessert?” “Cookie dough ice cream. I made it myself “ Julian declared proudly. Adele clapped her hands excitedly. She remembered mentioning how cookie dough held a special significance to her. Her heart melted as the cold, milky aroma of the ice cream wafted into her nostrils. Julian’s cookie dough ice cream was smooth, creamy, and rich with vanilla ribboned with dark chocolate swirls and packed with buttery, chewy chunks of cookie dough that melted on Adele’s tongue like a sweet secret.

We weave through the crowd and I take in the sights and scents. The smell of sweet fried doughs in honey syrup floating on the wind, I am distracted by all the sweet delights. Nuts and honey wrapped in crunchy layers of delicate dough. Fried dough soaked in honey syrup. Ice cream piled high on fresh pressed lacy waffle cones. The design of the royal family crest is delicately woven into the cone pattern. I long to eat my fill of sweet treats, to be a child again, carefree and wild.

the elderly woman I met at the pastry store smiled upon seeing me. "Actually I am not a patient." "Thank the moon and stars that you are not.* *Ma'am, I want bage-- on a second thought, what's that?" I asked pointing at the weird shaped pastry I saw "Ohh it's the new best seller, it is a chocolate chip crookie, half croissant. My daughter made them and they are delicious." "I would love to--- "Andry, some handsome man would love to meet you. He said you make the best crookies."

Even I'm full. "Did you have fun?" "Ah... yes, ma'am." Claire's jaw dropped. "Is you- Aunt Naida! Them cookies is mine, I know you is not eating them!" I assumed Claire ate them all but apparently she had some leftover. "The whole batch can't be yours, there are tons! Share them with Amara too! Her share is my share." Amara's voice rang out from the kitchen. "By that logic, they are Kagami's actually. He's the one who made them by himself after all."

"Let’s see how you handle the silent treatment." I set to work. I wasn't making a normal meal. I was making a masterpiece of culinary sabotage. I prepared an appetizer of Peanut Butter and Sea Salt Foam. But the "foam" was actually a thick, high-protein paste designed to coat the palate like a layer of industrial wool. Then, for the main event, I crafted a Triple-Glazed Sticky Toffee Pudding for the dessert, but I boiled the sugar until it reached the "Hard Crack" stage before folding in the Manuka honey and the marshmallow extract.

I drink a glass of water, ignoring the feeling of nausea. We wash our plates and fire up the oven, ready to cook and serve brunch. Most of it is prepared, which will save us a lot of time. Time we can use to get the presentation right. For the pastries, Becca has prepared quite the selection. There were croissants butter, chocolate and plain, chocolate éclairs, kouign amann — which is a round pastry made with a croissant-like dough that’s folded and refolded and baked in rounds. Baking slowly, at a low temperature, the dough puffs to form the many layers, and the sugar caramelises, forming a crispy crust that crackles most delightfully when bitten into. There are opera cakes and macarons of

Clara smiled at her excitement. “Is it like pancakes or something?” Cyra asked her, extremely curious to know everything. “Yes, you can make it as a pancake or muffin, muffins but I prefer them as cookies more. This way they came out more nutritious as well as tasty,” Cyra keenly heard her every word which doubled her excitement….but that excitement started vanishing as the time proceeded further and she watched her making those same exact looking cookies which she had seen and tasted before. But Cyra kept her mouth sealed.

The was a brief silence in the air. “You come here for a bit.” Clairmont beckoned me to come closer to him. I was wondering what he wanted when he said that, but still strode towards him. That was when Clairmont scooped the first scoop or ice cream, loaded with crushed hazelnut, pieces of chocolate, and caramel cream, before handing it to me to eat. I tried to reject, but his coaxing is stronger than mine so in the end, I have a spoonful of deliciously chilling and creamy hazelnut ice cream filling my mouth.

Proserpina “Mumma, can I help with those?’ demanded a persistent voice at my elbow, and I sighed. It was Tara. I had baked a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies for my boys who were home from their elite boarding school. But the entire batch I had baked the day before had been devoured. Now I sighed and turned to smile at Lou and Dom along with Tara, who had entered the kitchen.
