My Take On The Ben's Cookie

I know I have already posted a "Best Chocolate Chip Cookies" recipe but this one you guys are THE best. They're soft, they're chewy, they're basically the closest thing I have made to Ben's Cookies. Yes, you read that right BEN'S COOKIES. If you've never heard of Ben's Cookies, it is the most scrumptious chewy-melty cookie in the world ! If you live in London or intend on coming to London then you're going to want to eat these monsters.

You are going to need: 

250g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
170g unsalted butter, melted
200g dark brown soft sugar
100g caster sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 bars good quality chocolate

Start off by preheating your oven at 170C. Grease your baking trays. 

Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and leave to one side. In another bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and caster sugar. Beat in the vanilla essence, egg and an extra egg yolk until light and creamy. Now, you can add your flour mix until well blended. Take your chocolate bars and chop them into small rough chunks. Add them to your mixture and stir properly. 

Depending on the size you want your cookies to look like, take the dough and roll them in a ball in your hand. 

Pop them onto the baking tray and make sure to give them a little space to spread out ! 

Bake them for 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly toasted ! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe and tell me what you think about them if you happen to bake these ! ;) 

Pret A Manger's Chocolate Moose

Hello lovelies, 

Yes you read the title of the post right. I am talking about Chocolate Moose in today's post ! On Friday evening as I was walking toward's my bus stop to go home I walked past a Pret a Manger and couldn't resist picking this up. This just shows how much of a food addict I am. Spend a whole day with me and you'll know what I'm talking about ;)

Basically, this chocolate mousse consists of three layers from dark to light. The bottom layer is just chocolate mousse, the second layer is milk chocolate mousse and the top layer is whipped cream. Holy moly , this stuff is friggin good. Each layer compliments each other just superbly and I have nothing to say about it. After all, I am a chocolate addict and you are probably thinking she loves anything chocolate ( which is true). But, the chocolate used in this mousse is exceptional and it is no cheap yucky-taste chocolate. This will for sure be my go-to dessert now every time I go to Pret ! 

I thought I ought to share with you this amazing discovery ! 

Have an amazing day lovelies, 

Laura
