Sweet treat: choc chip cookies
It's hard to resist a cookie, and these from the head pastry chef at the Runnymede on Thames are soft, chewy and delicious.
Being the eternal optimists that we are here at Muddy, we’re looking at the upside of lockdown. More time at home means more time to polish our baking halo. Or maybe it’s just that we can’t resist tucking into a little cookie dough during the making (it can’t be just me?!).
Here’s a delicious recipe for the ultimate chocolate chip cookies from the head pastry chef at the Runnymede on Thames in Egham.
