Simple, we thought. Brilliant, we thought. Delicious, we knew. Milk & Cookies VII kept it real and crowned Nina Brown’s Chocolate Chip Cookies it’s ungendered monarch, and winner of the things that we give. So, when we got in contact with Nina to beg for the recipie, we should have realised that things were not going to be that easy. Being an unrivalled genius in the field of cookies (and allegedly, occasional personal chef to Milk & Cookies own personal idol, Cookie Monster) Nina kind of makes it up as she goes. So, consider this advanced cookie class. Get your… Read More

Milk and Cookies V saw eleven delicious Bake-Off entries, everything from cookies to cream sponge, to rice crispy cakes. There were no complaints from the three judges as they tasted this month’s mouthwatering set of entries with the help of Milk and Cookies team member Niamh McManus. The decision was unanimous… Steph Gallagher’s famous brownies won the day. We weren’t surprised! Steph has been bringing her baked good to Milk and Cookies from the very beginning, and in that time she has developed quite the reputation! Well done Steph! Milk and Cookies loves your baking!

The judges had a really tough time choosing the winner… In the end, Lisa O’Grady’s fruity, seedy cookies won out over competition… Well done Lisa!

The first Milk and Cookies Bake-Off ever, and though entries were a little thin on the ground, forcing organisers to enter their own competition, fun was had by all! Judging by three judges (chosen randomly from the audience) was overseen by Ross Golden-Bannon, editor of Food and Wine Magazine. After a rigorous judging procedure, a very embarrassed Sarah Quigley, co-founder of Milk and Cookie Stories, was announced the winner of the competition. Of course, she gave her prize to the best cookie from a non-organiser, Niamh Ryan.
