Biscuit lovers, it's your season - there's really nothing cosier than a homebaked treat of an evening! If you're on the lookout for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe, then Pastry Chef Gaëtan Fiard is here to help.

We're talking about those moreish cookies that are gooey in the middle, with melting chocolate chunks and a crumbly edge – our mouths are watering just thinking about it.

Gaëtan, who has worked at some of Paris’ top-starred establishments (including Terre Blanche in Provence, where he is currently based), has revealed a surprisingly simple recipe that will be passed down for generations to come. 

Want to know the best bit? Most of the ingredients are already in your kitchen cupboards.
