Nutty about cookies

If the thought of virtually instant home-baked cookies appeals, read on. Debora Robertson, food writer, editor, and darned good cook, writes an inspirational blog called Love and a Licked Spoon. It’s packed with mouthwatering recipes, ideas for table settings, and quite a lot of cocktails. We particularly like the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies, which Debora makes in batches and freezes in smart looking sausages, ready to whip out at a moment’s notice, cut, and throw in the oven. We might just get organised enough to give it a go. Thinking about it, the next time Smog orders, sorry, organises a PTA meeting would be the ideal moment to unleash homebaked smells into the house. In the meantime, a spoonful of Whole Earth’s finest, possibly with a Nutella chaser, is going to have to get us through the morning.
