This Chocolate and Walnut Cookie Recipe is a bit odd. Taken from the Celebrity Bake Book it was submitted by Tom Kerridge of the famous Hand and Flowers, Marlow, Buckinghamshire. But who am I to argue with such a succesful chef!

I say odd as the resultant cookie mix is incredibly crumbly. I kept thinking there should be another ingredient to bind everything together. Even after resting overnight in the fridge any attempts to cut the set ‘sausage’ resulted in a crumbled hideous mess. But I just scoped up handfuls of the mix, squished them into lumps and dumped them on a baking tray. The cookies are fine; you just need to leave them on the baking tray awhile after cooking so they firm up. Attempts at removing them beforehand will result in a return of the crumbly mess!
