Spiced Orange Cookies
Simple, fragrant cookies scented with orange, cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a double batch and freeze the dough so you can bake fresh cookies whenever the craving hits. Perfect with a mug of tea.
Full recipe below. ⬇️
Heat the oven to 165°C (330°F). Roll the dough into balls (about 30g each) and place on a lined baking tray, leaving space for spreading.
Bake for 10–12 minutes. They will look soft when removed but will firm up as they cool. Rest on a rack for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Shape into a ball, cover and chill for at least 1–2 hours.
Method
Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil or melted butter, vanilla & orange zest. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a stiff cookie dough. It may seem crumbly at first but will come together as you mix.
Ingredients
125g plain flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
75g brown sugar
2 tbsp milk
30g melted butter
¼ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Zest of 1–2 oranges
Fresh grated nutmeg
For a vegan version, use plant based milk and olive oil instead of butter.
Makes: 10–12 cookies
Prep: 10 mins + chilling
Bake: 10–12 mins

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
It is nice to be on one of the few remaining types of social media that isn't absolutely riddled with genAI sloptivity. They may take our images and videos but I'll be damned if they take our pithy short-form written existential angst
A reminder that the administration spent the day before it launched a war in the Middle East feuding with tech companies over whether and how the AI models the Pentagon buys will be restrained from autonomously killing people.
