With plenty of time on my hands I have rediscovered my love of baking, with the help of the beautiful pink Kitchen Aid of course. Today I made Bill Granger's Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies - taken from the recipe book 'Bill's Basics'.
They are absolutely divine and can see these becoming a regular staple in our house. Next time i'll have to remember to make double!
