Cookie standards have been raised quite high lately, especially as I have spent a lot of time working from home and needed some nice treats to go with my shoddily crafted flat whites. I might never master the latte art technique – and I’m not even sure that I want to. There’s something weirdly exciting in not knowing what I’ll end up with every morning: one day it might be an octopus, another – a nondescript cartoon character. I even managed to do a star one day – or at least it looked like one.

Anyway… back to the cookie business: I like to believe that I’ve kind of mastered the art of making cookies. Raspberry and white chocolate cookies to be precise – as dark chocolate is not really my thing (or at least not as of late). I use freeze dried raspberries for my recipe as they give a nice crunch and are full of flavour. Also, instead of chopping up chocolate tablets, I like to use white chocolate drops – simply because I believe that cookie recipes should be simple and uncomplicated. Dried strawberries would work well too. And I’d like to try that famous ruby chocolate some time – I think it would work pretty well.
