These choc chip cookie cups are an absolute joy to make and they come together in under an hour, which is perfect for when you want homemade treats without spending all day in the kitchen. I love that they're so straightforward to bake, requiring just basic ingredients you probably already have at home. The beauty of using real butter is that it contains fat soluble vitamins that help your body absorb essential nutrients, making these feel a little less guilty than store bought versions. Plus, baking them yourself costs a fraction of what you'd pay for fancy bakery cookies, and your kitchen will smell absolutely incredible while they're in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C, gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 12-hole muffin tin and dust lightly with flour. Divide the chilled cookie dough into 12 equal portions. Take one portion and press it into a hole in the tin (1⁄3 of the mixture will be above the rim). Top with 2 squares of chocolate, then flatten out the dough above the rim and press over the top to seal at the edges. Repeat to make 12 cookie cups.

Bake the cookie cups for 15-18 minutes until golden on top. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then use a knife to help ease them out onto a wire rack. Serve while they are still warm.

After years of experimenting, I've finally cracked the code for roast potatoes that are impossibly crispy on the outside and fluffy within.

What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss. Trust me, once you try these, you'll never go back.

The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness.
