150gplain flour

80gcocoa powder

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

150gbutter, nice and soft

150gdark brown sugar

2, choppedMars Bars

1 tsp vanilla essence

a few pinchessea salt

Cookies are without a doubt one of humanities greatest creations. Managing to be simultaneously soft and crispy they inhabit a delicious hinterland between a biscuit and a cake. Personally, I think these are God-tier level with all the things you'd want from a cookie. Enjoy!

Method

Whisk together the flour, the cocoa powder, bicarb and baking powder. These are your dry ingredients, because they are dry.

Whisk the butter and sugars together until light and completely incorporated. Then add the egg and the vanilla essence and mix until you've got a nice dough. Add the chopped Mars Bar bits and roll it into a fun log shape. Wrap in clingfilm and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour.

Cut into rounds, sprinkle with flaked sea salt, place on a non-stick tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until done to your tastes.

Since then his colourful career has taken him to performing in Skegness, making cheese in Peckham, running a wine bar on Columbia Road and reluctantly working in a (briefly) Michelin Starred restaurant. He likes fish, things cooked on charcoal, cheap dinners and London's rich cultural tapestry of food shops. When he's not cooking or eating he can be found mudlarking by the river Thames, buying bits in flea markets and hanging out with his cat Keith.
