Cookies with an icy touch

Buy a packet of your brother’s favourite cookies. In a bowl, add three cups of sugar, 1/3rd cup of butter and one tablespoon of milk. Also, add about one and a half teaspoons of vanilla essence.

Decorate your cookies with this frosting or even pen a sweet note for your brother using the icing.

Easy breezy mug cake

Mug cakes have gained extreme popularity during the lockdown period as they are the easiest thing to make if you are craving for some chocolaty goodness. To make one, take a large cup and add about four tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Now, add three tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of cocoa powder, half teaspoon of baking powder, three tablespoons milk, one tablespoon oil and one teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix these all together and once they are all combined well. Top it with about one tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread of your choice. Microwave this for about two minutes. Take it out and let it cool. If you have some extra love left for your sibling then top it with some more chocolate spread and serve.

Fudge-y goodness

There is nothing better than having some fudge while you binge on your favourite shows with your siblings. If you have the same plan as well, then immediately head to the kitchen and grease a baking pan. Heat a large saucepan and add two cups of granulated sugar, half cup of cocoa powder and one cup milk. Bring this mixture to a boil and let it simmer. Remove it off the heat once it reaches the desired consistency and add about four tablespoons of butter and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour into the tray and freeze before chopping it into small pieces and digging in.

Nutella cookies without any baking expertise

Take a medium saucepan, add eight tablespoons of butter, one and a half cup of sugar, three tablespoons of cocoa powder and a half cup of milk. Bring it to a boil and simmer for about a minute. Add about 3/4th cup of Nutella, one teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt. Combine and take it off the heat. Add three cups of oats, half cup of chopped hazelnuts and 1/4th cup of coconut flakes to the mixture. Add some more Nutella to combine it all and make balls of the mixture. Let it cool before you call your sibling for a divine chocolaty treat session.

Biscuit cakes

Take about 300 grams of your favourite biscuits. In this case, take some Oreos and roughly chop them. Add it to a food processor along with a half cup of sugar and grind it for a smooth powder. Take the powder out to a bowl and add half teaspoon of baking powder and one tablespoon of coffee powder. Mix it well before pouring one cup of milk and one teaspoon of vanilla essence.
