Cover and refrigerate the cookie dough for one hour. Preheat oven to 350°F (175˚C). On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of ¼ inch (6 mm). Cut out cookies in desired shape using a cookie cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are firm. Baking time will vary depending on dough thickness. Allow to cool and decorate as desired. Makes: 48 medium-sized cookies.

Cora products needed : Plain Crêpe Mix Waffle & Pancake Mix Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Muffin Mix Blueberry and Oatmeal Muffin Mix Vanilla-Flavoured Syrup Spread (strawberry, raspberry, orange, blueberry and mixed berry) Presentation: Choose a serving board large enough to hold all the cooked items. Group the crêpes, pancakes, waffles and muffins in small clusters, in a zigzag pattern or in small “mountains” to add height and volume. Place the vanilla-flavoured syrup and spreads in small bowls and distribute them across the board. Fill the empty spaces with fresh fruit to add colour and complete the presentation. Add serving utensils such as spoons, tongs, and knives. Bon appétit!

Servings: 2 servings Ingredients: 1 1/3 cups (200 g) Plain Cora Crêpe Mix 1 1/3 cups (325 ml) milk (or plant-based beverage) Garnish: Fresh fruit Slivered almonds Chocolate for melting Maple syrup Honey Preparation: Lightly oil a non-stick pan and heat over medium-high. Vigorously whisk the crêpe mix and milk (or plant-based beverage) together in a bowl until smooth. Using a squeeze bottle, cover the entire surface of the pan in thin zigzag lines of batter. Cook until the lines lift away easily. Turn over using a spatula. Leave for a few seconds to finish cooking. Garnish as desired. Bon appétit!

Servings: 8 crêpes (24 crêpe wheels) Ingredients: 11/3 cups (200 g) plain Cora crêpe mix 11/3 cups (325 ml) milk (or plant-based beverage) 2 cups (500 ml) Nutella-type spread Decorative sprinkles 4-inch wooden skewers   Preparation: To make 8 crêpes, place the Cora crêpe mix and milk in a bowl. Whisk together vigorously until batter is smooth and consistent. Lightly oil a non-stick pan and heat over medium high. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the batter to the centre of the pan and rotate the pan to spread the batter uniformly over the surface. When the edge has coloured and easily lifts away, after about 1 minute, flip the crêpe over using a spatula and continue cooking for 30 seconds or until cooked. Remove the crêpe from the pan. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the remaining batter. Spread ¼ cup (60 ml) of the Nutella-type spread over each crêpe, making sure to cover the entire surface.  Take a crêpe and “stack” it on top of another vertically so they overlap halfway, like 2 linked rings. Starting at the bottom, tightly roll up the crêpe. Repeat the procedure with the remaining crêpes. Cover the four crêpe rolls in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for two hours. Remove the plastic wrap from the frozen crêpes and cut each one into 6 equal pieces. Stick a skewer into each piece like a pinwheel. Using a knife, spread a little more of the spread on the outside of the crêpe wheels and roll in the sprinkles to coat. Bon appétit!

(30 ml) of the batter on top of the cookie. Garnish with chocolate chips as desired. Bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool completely and carefully remove from moulds. Bon appétit!
