Edd Kimber, the inaugural winner of The Great British Bake Off, recently shared some of his unique ideas for making sweet treats for Valentine’s Day and other occasions that call for indulgence. In an interview about his new book, Small Batch Cookies: Deliciously Easy Bakes for One to Six People, Kimber talks about his love for cookies and the creative possibilities they offer.

In his book, Kimber provides guidelines for crafting the perfect cookie, explaining the impact that different baking techniques can have on the final product. His creativity extends into incorporating unconventional ingredients, like miso, into his recipes to enhance flavors. His inclusion of traditional methods like using hard boiled egg yolks for making light and tender shortbread demonstrates his ability to draw from a diverse range of baking methods. A particular highlight from his collection is a triple chocolate cookie baked in a skillet, which offers a cross between a cookie and dessert that is perfect for date nights or self-indulgence, serving two.
