Cookie (CRUMBSHOT)

I discovered George's Bakery randomly as I was scrolling through my feed some weeks ago. He’s a baker based in the UK and has developed a strong following because of his incredible-looking baked goods. What impressed me the most was that he posts recipes to his products on his page for everyone to try.

My rating: 9/10. To call the recipe simple would be an understatement. No vanilla extract, no salt (!), and no chill time. The crumb was on the soft side with minimal crunch. This would make for a great go-to snack if you’re pressed for time. Taste-wise it was very rich and buttery, which I think could be due to using egg yolks only. I gave a 9 because aside from its simplicity, this cookie dough actually forms the base for all sorts of other cookies, as he shows on his instagram feed.
