My 52p recipe is the perfect dupe for viral M&S Chunked N' Loaded cookies – I reckon they taste even better
THEY'RE chunky, gooey, and wildly popular, but at £2 a pop, M&S's viral Chunked N' Loaded Cookies don't come cheap. To help fans recreate the indulgent flavours at home for a fraction of the price, Ann Cooper, who owns a family-run bakery called Wonderberrys has recreated the viral favourite She created three affordable, bakery-style cookie recipes for QRFY, in Raspberry Cheesecake, Pistachio, and Chocolate & Hazelnut, that can be made at home for as little as 52p per cookie. She says: 'In order to successfully make this type of stuffed cookie, the filling needs to be frozen and then added to the cookie mix just before going into the oven. 'This process maintains the stability of the centre and stops it from melting into the cookie dough. Obviously, people could just add it to the dough, but it won't maintain a soft centre after cooking.' She adds that making them yourself can make them taste all the better. Ann adds: "Many people like to enjoy a sweet treat now and again and baking your own cookies can provide a sense of satisfaction and achievement." Scroll down for the recipes, the method is the same for all three cookies and can be found after the ingredients. Pistachio Cookie (Makes 6 large cookies): 275g plain flour 115g unsalted butter 1 egg 175g light brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda 60g pistachio cream 100g white chocolate chips Chopped pistachios (small handful) Chocolate & Hazelnut Cookie (Makes 6 large cookies): 275g plain flour 1 tbsp cocoa powder (approx. 15g) 115g unsalted butter 1 egg 175g light brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda 60g Nutella 100g milk chocolate chips Chopped hazelnuts (small handful) The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients - it's sweet and you won't even need to put it in the oven Raspberry Cheesecake Cookie (Makes 6 large cookies): 275g plain flour 115g unsalted butter 1 egg 175g light brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ⅓ tsp bicarbonate of soda 30g cream cheese 30g raspberry jam 100g white chocolate chips Method for all three cookies Freeze the filling (cheesecake mix, pistachio cream, or Nutella) in 10g blobs until solid (about 1 hour). Cream butter and sugar, then add the egg. Mix in dry ingredients. Combine by hand. Divide into 6 balls. Press a hole in the centre, insert the frozen filling, and seal the dough completely. Bake at 180°C (fan) on a preheated tray for 11–14 minutes, removing just before browning for a gooey centre. Let cool on the tray and enjoy - why not try adding some tasty toppings too?

Camden Council resists calls to extend ban on Waterlow Park BBQs
Camden Council has resisted campaigners' calls to permanently outlaw charcoal barbecues in Waterlow Park, after it imposed a temporary ban in temporary ban came after complaints of crowds of revellers with barbeques, fights, piles of rubbish and people defecating in bushes. The Highgate Village Green Preservation Society (HVGPS) said "scorched earth, mounting rubbish, ash bins smoking like chimneys and a huge increase in road traffic" were hurting the local community, environment and Harrison, from the north London council, said the park was originally created in 1889 as a "garden for the gardenless" and should remain accommodating. The council has, however, left the current temporary BBQ ban in place due to the increased risk of wildfires in dry, hot weather. According to the council's reports, the borough has the third-highest number of residents in the country without access to a private outdoor the council has resisted a permanent ban, Mr Harrison said the current policies around barbeques were "constantly under review". An online petition to end the smoky cookouts permanently was launched by HVGPS, and has about 1,500 supporters. Volunteers for the Waterlow Park Trust have also joined calls for total Wilkinson, chair of the trust's Barbecue Working Group, said: "What happened this year shows how Waterlow – the only public open space in London where people can use barbecues of any size – has become a victim of its own success." However, although the group recognises there is a problem, it says it does not want to see a permanent ban on barbeques. Council officers said the online petition, with they said had a "relatively low number of signatories versus residents", did not provide a full picture of the wider community's view.
