Ben's Cookies

I had heard about Ben's Cookies even before I got to London. I knew from the start that I definitely needed to go, but I put it off as long as possible. Why? Because I knew once I tasted how delicious they were, I would want to come everyday. And ohh boy I was right.  

Yummmm

My first pick: The Milk Chocolate Orange

I got the Milk Chocolate with orange opposed to the regular Milk Chocolate, because we have this Gingerbread cookie recipe with my family that has orange peel in it too. I had to taste to see if it rivaled. Let's just say... that cookie was devoured. 

If you know me well, you know I LOVE Roald Dahl. He wrote The BFG, The Witches, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, etc. Anyways, one of my favorite parts of his books were the illustrations by Quentin Blake. So, when I walked in to Ben's Cookies I noticed right away the similarities between this illustration & the ones by Quentin Blake. 

After drawing the connection, I pulled out my phone & Googled it. I was right! The "Ben" of Ben's Cookies was drawn by Quentin Blake. And from that point I feel in love with Ben's Cookies even more!

I think you can tell how happy I am...

My second pick: Triple Chocolate Chunk

And if you are wondering if that is a HUGE chunk of white chocolate in the middle, you would be correct. And after nibbling on both of Julia's cookies & my Milk Chocolate Orange cookie, I determined that this baby is my favorite!!

Too full to write anymore. I'll be taking my nap right about noww. xoxox
