Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I have been busy with
school work. This post is one I have been looking forward to writing for a long
time as it is now one of my favourite recipes and has been for the past few
weeks
In modern day society, social media is a common way to
promote new ideas, inventions and products to society. One of the most popular
social media sites is Instagram. People use it to promote their products or celebrities
and many others use it to post pictures and selfies about what’s going on in
their lives. However apart from all this I have found many delicious and new
recipes and as someone that uses social media often, many of my favourite
recipes have come from Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook. Recently, whilst
looking through Instagram, I came across a recipe that I knew would be
interesting to make. RED VELVET COOKIES. As someone who enjoys red velvet as a
flavour, I knew quickly I would enjoy this recipe. It took me longer than
expected to actually write out the recipe, however, as Instagram does not have
a pause button on videos meaning in order to remember all the detail I had to re-watch
this video numerous times.
Here is the recipe for the Red Velvet Cookies. It is a true
favourite of mine and I therefore hope you enjoy baking and eating them as much
as I do!!
