It only really dawned on me today that since Christmas - a full two weeks - I’ve barely baked at all; only a couple of sourdough loaves a week so we can still have toast for breakfast! I had a bit of a baking frenzy in the weeks leading up to the festivities and whilst I enjoy it, it’s nice to have a break.
I had 10 days off over Christmas and New Year and felt completely unremorseful about doing very little. Not that there was a lot to do with Covid restrictions putting us in tier 4! Just nice to have time for some lie-ins and to catch up on reading and TV.
Idly channel hopping one day I came across a repeat of a
Nigel Slater programme. Mr S can do little wrong in my eyes - his way of doing things comes across as so much more relaxed so and accessible than a lot of other chefs. It’s like watching a friend demonstrate making something. Anyway in this programme he did his favourite chocolate cookies - very slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I’ve been enjoying a biscuit with my post-lunch coffee recently so gave them a go in my lunch break today. Didn’t have the hazelnuts he mentions but threw in some chopped almonds (although I’ve since been thinking macadamias would be pretty awesome in these!)

They’re VERY easy and quick to make - and a bit moreish 😋 click here for the recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolate_cookies_with_95245
