With us all spending more time at home and a lot of us turning to baking, check out these Easy Biscuits & Cookies for #CookBlogShare Week 14.
Welcome to Curly’s Cooking and #CookBlogShare Week 14! I am really happy to be guest hosting again this week. #CookBlogShare is a weekly link where food bloggers come to link up their delicious treats and share and comment on each other’s recipes.
It is also a great place for non food bloggers to come and find new recipes.
The regular hosts are Recipes Made Easy who hosted last week & Lost in Food. CookBlogShare is also hosted by guest bloggers twice a month.
It’s all gone a little bit crazy
I think we can all agree that the world has gone a little bit crazy recently. People are coping with it in different ways. Some people are eating all of the food in their house, others are hiding from their children and some of us are spending far too long playing Food Truck Tycoon on the Nintendo Switch.
Whichever category you fit into, I hope you’re all staying safe at home.
Something that has come from this situation is that a lot more people are searching for new recipes to cook. I know in the grand scheme of things running a food blog may not feel very important right now. But I have had lots of people message me asking for advice and more people making my recipes than normal.
This has made me happy that in a very small way we can at least help people make tasty food!
We know that people aren’t going to baking and cooking the same recipes as before, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t cheer people up to see them.
I intend to still share recipes like my Funfetti Cake to add a bit of fun and happiness to people’s days. How about you? Have you changed which recipes you’ve been posting or searching for?
Easy Biscuits & Cookies
With everyone spending a lot more time at home, people have been turning to baking. I’ve seen more people than ever baking.
My baking has had to slow down though because I no longer have anyone to eat my bakes due to social distancing!
It is lovely to see that parent’s are incorporating baking into their homeschooling timetables as well as people that haven’t baked in years giving it a go.
So for me, when I saw the recipes linked up last week I had to feature Easy Biscuits & Cookies!
Blueberry Cookie Traybake
Blueberries are one of my favourite fruits and the idea of putting them into a cookie traybake is fantastic! I like a soft cookie so this Blueberry Cookie Traybake by Sisley from Sew White is absolutely perfect for me.
They’re also great to get children to help out with; even more so that standard cookies because you don’t need to make individual cookies.
Easter Biscuits (Cookies)
These simple and delicious biscuits are called Easter Biscuits because they were traditionally given at Easter time. They make a very welcome change from all of the chocolate bakes over Easter.
Lightly spiced and speckled with currants, these would be perfect with a cup of tea. These are from Jacqui at Only Crumbs Remain
Lemon Shortbread Squares
These Lemon Shortbread Squares from Karen at Lavender & Lovage are a lemon lover’s dream. A tasty shortbread base with a lemon filling topped with a lemon buttercream. These would be a great bake for children to help decorate!
Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are one of my favourite bakes and these Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies from Jess Eats & Travels look great. At a time when people are struggling to buy eggs, these cookies are a fantastic recipe so you don’t have to miss out on a sweet treat.

Cristina - Memories of the Pacific says
Every single recipe looks yum! I’ve been baking a lot since the quarantine started because comfort food is much needed right now. I just hope I don’t put a lot of weight on!
Curly says
I agree, sweet treats are definitely needed. However it’s just my husband and I and we really don’t need to eat a whole cake between us every week haha. I used to give him what I baked to take into work for his colleagues.
Lesley Garden says
What a great round up and some great baking ideas for the Easter holidays. I’ll get my two little bakers working on some of these recipes. Thanks for sharing to #cookblogshare
Curly says
Thank you 🙂 I know, they all look so tasty!
Eb Gargano | Easy Peasy Foodie says
Lovely roundup – pretty food to cheer us all up in amongst all the crazyness! I am pretty much eating the same as normal at the moment. Shopping has been challenging, but things are getting a bit more normal. The only real difference for me is lunch – as I am not used to having my family home with me at lunchtime. I normally just have last night’s leftovers for lunch, which is obviously not possible with my family home! Eb x
Curly says
Thanks Eb 🙂 Me too, but my husband keeps moaning to me that he’s hungry! I know what you mean. I was used to making lunch whenever I was hungry or when I had finished shooting something. Now my husband is at home he wants to eat together on his lunch break which is throwing me off! x
Choclette says
Ooh yum! I do love homemade biscuits. The Easter biscuits look perfect but I really really want a piece of that lemon traybake.
The main thing I’m missing amongst all this craziness is yeast! Luckily you don’t need that to make biscuits.
Curly says
It looks great doesn’t it?
I went out for the first time in nearly 3 weeks yesterday and managed to get everything apart from yeast and self raising flour. I did get some yeast in my veg box last week so I can make a few loaves thank goodness!
Jessica Cantoni says
Thank you SO much for including my eggless cookies! I’m very tempted by yours confetti cake tbh… just need some more flour! Xx
Curly says
You’re welcome Jess they look great. I am fully stocked on flour now so will be getting my bake on again soon! x
Chloe Edges says
Fab roundup mate!
Curly says
Thanks Chloe 🙂
louise Gunstone says
Great round-up! I’m doing home exercise (in the kitchen. lol) to balance out the extra (enjoyment of) cooking for a full house of hungry males!
Curly says
I’ve been doing PE with Joe in the mornings and he’s slowly killing me! I haven’t eaten too much more but I think that is all about to change this weekend when lent finishes and I start eating chocolate again!
Megha Chhatbar says
Sweet treats for the soul. The one you shared looks delicious. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Curly says
Definitely 🙂 Thank you!
Karen says
What a FABULOUS round up Cat and THANK YOU for adding my Lemon Shortbread Squares too! I’ve linked my latest recipe 🙂 Karen
Curly says
Thanks Karen. They sounded delicious and looked so pretty!
Michelle Rolfe says
Great roundup Cat. So many people baking just now. I know its happening in my house all the time and gone completely back to traditional bakes too. Unfortunately I’m eating them all too! Thanks for hosting this week.
Cheers
Michelle
Curly says
Thanks Michelle. I know that is the problem isn’t it. Well at least there is no one to see us if we get a little rounder!
