Strawberry & Fennel Jam Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
These cookies are full of surprises. The strawberry jam is scented with a light whisper of fennel and the chocolate cookie dough just melts in your mouth. The middle stays a little soft and reminds me a bit of a dense brownie in its buttery texture. I coated half of the cookies in crunchy demerara and half in white sesame seeds for a nutty kick. They both work really well. If you’re looking for an easy bake which packs a punch of flavour, these are for you. I love the strawberry fennel jam so much, it will probably become a fridge staple for me.
Crinkle Cut Crisp & Honeycomb Choc Chip Cookies
The wholesome cookie has had a salty makeover. I love a salty sweet treat and I loved the idea of honeycomb and crunchy, salty crinkle cut crisps together. The perfect conveyor for this? A chocolate chip cookie. These are soft in the middle and crisp around the edge. The honeycomb becomes chewy as it bakes in the oven and the crisps stay salty and crunchy. Pair all of that with some gooey dark chocolate and you have a bloody good cookie.
