These cookies are a little taste of paradise. I had no idea that this would be the case as I made them (undeniably, the flavour combination meant they were bound to be delicious) nor as I cooked them, and not even as I presented them did I realise just how tasty they were going to be. They were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. When I cooked them, I just made teaspoon-size balls on the tray and flattened them out- they expanded quite a bit as they cooked and there ended up being heaps, so it felt like they lasted for ages too. Winner winner, cookies for dinner?!
