Sharing is caring!

It’s a cold Friday afternoon and as soon as the kids catch the warm sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies, they come bounding through the house. If we’re lucky, a freshly baked batch of 12 might get us through the weekend. In this house, the best time to tuck into fresh cookies is when they are still warm and gooey. Follow this recipe and your cookies will have a delightful crunchy edge and soft center even a day or two after they’ve been baked, if they last that long of course.

The wonderful thing about this recipe is how diverse it can be. The base ingredients lend themselves to almost any combination of fillings that you like. If you don’t like white chocolate, double up on the milk chocolate. Don’t like either white or milk chocolate? Swap them out for dark chocolate. If you don’t like chocolate at all (?! not judging), no problem, you could swap dried fruit in instead! You could even add some food colouring if you’re baking around a theme. Green or orange cookies for Halloween anyone?

Why not give these a try and let us know how you got on? We would love to hear what crazy flavour combo’s you come up with!
