Ben's Cookies
When I was
younger, cookies were just dry biscuits you'd find in supermarkets. First time
I visited England and tried Millie's Cookies, I understood that it was meant to
be slightly softer than what I was used to. The true epiphany happened once I
tried Ben's Cookies… This was back when I was working in Bath; my colleagues
used to treat themselves occasionally with Ben's Cookies boxes. And it
became a real treat to me since.
Ben's
cookies' cookies, Are nOt jUst cOOkies: they are more like cakes. Unlike the
cookies I was eating when I was little, they are so meltingly soft and spongy
that I am sure you don't even need teeth to eat them. When you're lucky enough
to have them warm or straight from the oven, the chocolate chunks are melting
and chewy. You can
choose between many flavours, from normal chocolate chunks to more unusual like
ginger or dates.
What is also very convenient is that you can buy tins of 4 or 8 cookies:
the cookies will keep their flavor longer and won't get stale too
quickly. I usually bring tins when I visit my friends in Paris and they
absolutely love it!
They also have ice creams which is what I’ll try next if i can resist
their cookies or allow myself to have both.
Not every Ben's Cookies have seating areas: the popular ones on Oxford
Street for instance, don't. So, if you're willing to wait a little to savour
your cookie in a nice seating environment, head to the one in Carnaby which has
a few seats outside and inside.
There are many shops across the UK, but also a few worldwide (in the
Middle East, Asia and the States) so even more chances to try Ben's Cookies!
