Don’t overmix once the Edmonds flour goes in and pull them from the oven while the centre still looks slightly soft. Brownies, like boundaries, firm up as they cool.
Beat the eggs and sugar longer before adding butter - those air bubbles are your glossy secret. It’s like emotional processing: a little extra effort for a smoother surface.
Absolutely. Slice, wrap, and store them airtight. Perfect for when you sense another unsolicited hug approaching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, cookie dough freezes beautifully. Roll it into balls first, then freeze. Future you will thank present you when Dad starts telling the same joke again next weekend.
Stir in your chips at the end so they don’t melt early. Fold gently, don’t overmix. Life’s better when you don’t overwork it.
Use a good 1:1 Edmonds gluten-free flour blend and don’t skip the chill time as it helps the dough firm up before baking. The result? All the gooey comfort, none of the wheat, and zero compromise on cookie-to-crumb satisfaction. Take a look at our Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
No cornflakes? Crush up some plain biscuits or rolled oats instead. They’ll change the texture a touch, but that’s baking! A little less crunch, a little more charm, still delicious.
Butter too soft, oven too hot - we’ve all been there. Chill your dough a little before baking, and remember: patience, not panic, makes for better biscuits and better decisions.
Definitely. Afghans are forgiving like that. Try chocolate buttons, pretzels, or leave them plain. The key is contrast - a bit of crunch to balance all that fudgy sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions
You sure can. White sugar will give you a lighter colour and a slightly less caramel-y flavour, but your bake will still come out sweet and delicious. Think of it as the tidy desk version of your recipe - less depth, but no less effective.
Not at all. Walnuts add crunch, but if you’ve got a nut-free crowd, leave them out or swap for seeds (like pumpkin or sunflower). The cake is still a hero without them—less crunch, more munch.
