I was really looking forward to these - my two favourite things; lemon and white chocolate!
As I opened the packet, I was met with a lovely lemony smell. Lovely chunks of white chocolate with strips of lemon zest.
It went downhill from there. Normally, I LOVE the All butter M&S cookie range. However, the texture of these was much harder and crispier than the other flavoured cookies. I think they used a different recipe to allow for the lemon extract to be used - which will change the consistency and ultimately the texture of the finished product. Either that, or I just got a bad batch.
I also thought the lemon was overpowering - instead of being tangy against the white chocolate I found it very sickly sweet. Perhaps a lemon juice or even just the zest would work better. The white chocolate chunks were nice, though!

Dipping them in tea helps with the crunchyness.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They seemed too nice to dunk in tea but I will try that next time.
