The Best Cookies in London
"Those in the know at Milk in Balham on a Saturday slip to the front of the queue and enter Milk Run, the convenience store occupying half the real estate, to purchase one of Milk’s standout baked goods along with a cup of expertly poured coffee from Berlin roastery the Barn. The Anzac is fair game for the best of its kind in the city — a vast domed frisbee of oats, coconut, burnt butter and golden syrup, substantial and wholesome enough to call breakfast but undeniably decadent. Meanwhile the khorasan, tahini, chocolate chip cookie engages customers in Milk’s favourite game of ingredients one has to surreptitiously look up. The ancient variety of wheat named after the Khorasan region of northern Iran brings its qualities to a tried-and-tested flavour combination, with the earthy wholewheat flour underscoring the nuttiness of tahini and vast chunks of Pump Street chocolate to establish this as a cookie for serious connoisseurs." - Emma Louise Pudge
