ben's cookies! they're based in London. dark chocolate chunk and their praline and chocolate chunk are by far some of the best cookies I've ever had. cake cookies.

Question of the Day: Going to London and Madrid recommend good, cheapish resturants?

I'm going to break this down by areas in London you'll most likely visit...
Tottenham Court_ The Rock and Sole Plaice, 47 Endell St, some of the best fish and chips in the city. Listed in most city guide books, but isn't loaded with tourists.
Piccadilly Circus_ If you're interested in art, visit the Institute of Contemporary Art and Design, located on the Mall. They have a great cafe there.
Hyde Park_ Make your way towards Edgware Rd. Every restaurant on that road is amazing, legitimate middle eastern food. Cheap and authentic.
Markets_ all the markets have amazing food, especially Notting Hill and Spitafields.
East London_ Or go beyond Spitafields towards Brick Lane, famous for its curry restaurants.
High tea_ Go to high tea at the Orangery in Hyde Park, located on the NW side of the park. Very traditional high tea, amazing food- scones (have to have the currant!!), pastries, sandwiches, perfect butternut squash soup, beautiful space, outdoor seating, with very affordable prices

I love something called "Rocks" that we always make at Christmas. . .these are hearty molasses/cinnamon/raisin/pecan cookies and they are scrumptious!

My favorites have always been something we've called Margaret's Mess, after the cousin who gave us the recipe. They have oatmeal, cocoa, peanut butter, butter and some other things. They are wonderful!!

My late sister came up with an awesome chocolate chip oatmeal cookie that takes two hands to eat. The dough is so thick, your arms ache from trying to mix it all together...but that pain is well worth the results. Great warm!

My favorite cookies are macadamia chocolate chunk but I'll try any kind of cookies including potato chip cookies because I love cookies.
