Date Night Cooking
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, what better reason to slow down and enjoy a home-cooked meal with your special someone. Whether that be a significant other, best friend or family member, cooking together creates a fun, intimate experience, whether you’re making a gourmet dinner or simply baking a batch of cookies. The key is to keep things stress-free—choose a recipe that’s delicious yet simple, so you can focus on each other instead of complicated techniques.
With your focus on drinks and mains, a simple dessert is a must! Cookies are a much loved, fool proof dessert option and better still, you can prepare the dough well in advance! Place the cookie in the oven after you've wrapped up dinner and you've got a decadent treat on the table in 15 minutes or less.

Tips and variations
- Fruit: Any freeze dried fruit would work in this recipe, but do not swap it for fresh or frozen fruit. You can also omit the freeze dried fruit, and add in an additional 25g of chocolate.
- Baking: I find that this cookie doesn't spread too far on the tray while baking, so pressing it into a thick disc is necessary, as opposed to leaving it as a ball of cookie dough.
- Increasing quantities: I wouldn't recommend using this recipe to create a batch of cookies, instead, refer to quantities in this recipe here.
