In Cookie 101 I show you how to make 3 of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes!

First is my signature no chill chocolate chip cookies, that are so quick and easy to make. The perfect baked treat when you need something sweet straight away.

If you fancy a more decadent, fudgy cookie then you need to try my double chocolate cookies. They’re just as easy to make, and will give you that extra chocolate fix.

Lastly, my new favourite brown butter and hazelnut cookies. I wish I’d put these in my book! They’re a step up from the other two cookies and I recommend some chill time, but you’ll thank me once you taste them – the flavour combination is unreal!

As an alternative to chocolate chips I like to add some broken up chocolate to my cookie dough just as they come out the oven. It melts into the warm dough and creates the best texture.

If you’re an ice cream love like me, sandwich some vanilla ice cream in between two cookies to make an epic ice cream sandwich!
