You know the ones — soft in the centre, edges barely holding themselves together, steam curling up in sugary little ribbons the moment you cracked them open.</p><p>Join us as we relive the way those cookies <strong>glued our friend group together</strong>, how the cafeteria always smelled like warm chocolate at exactly 11:42 AM, and why nothing in adulthood — not artisan bakeries, not £4.50 café biscuits, not even our own ovens — has ever recreated that perfect <strong>soft‑melty‑slightly‑underbaked magic</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p>They talk about a bunch of other stuff too. </p>","author_name":"Ella Vatore and Rick O’Shea"}
