Do a quick Google search on the best cookies in London, and there’s one guy that immediately stands out from the crowd: Ben, Ben’s Cookies. Situated in pretty much every prime location in London, from Oxford Street to Carnaby and Kensington, these chunk-filled creations are convenient, craveable and downright delicious. Because if you don’t know, Ben’s Cookies prides himself in baking with chunks not chips, ensuring each buttery disc is filled with flavour throughout. Having a hard time choosing? Don’t worry – these are my favourite Ben’s Cookies, ranked by order…
Coconut
Less cookie and more macaroon, this plumped up beauty boasts a super soft middle and a generous sprinkling of coconut flakes on top. So refreshing.
Dark Chocolate
Even if you don’t like dark chocolate, this cookie might just prove you otherwise. A deep pool of dark chocolate nestled inside a buttery chunk, marrying richness with a delicate, soft crumb. Heaven.
Orange & Milk Chocolate
England loves combining orange with milk chocolate, from the famous Terry’s Chocolate to jaffa cakes and now Ben’s Cookies. Expect a classic milk chocolate cookie, dotting with tangy cubes of dried orange for a zesty touch.
Triple Chocolate Chunk
A must-try menu item for chocoaholics (the kind that don’t discriminate), the triple chocolate chunk incorporates it all into one. It starts with a dark chocolate base – rich like a brownie but still crumbly like a cookie – which is then filled with milk chocolate – oozing out when served warm – and topped with white chocolate buttons.
Cranberry & White Chocolate
Ben’s Cookies celebrates Christmas all year round, cramming a white chocolate cookie with cranberries. It’s soft, chewy and crunchy all at once, while fuelling us with sweetness. My favourite, by far.
