It doesn't use chemical yeast. Therefore no strange after taste. There are oat flakes which are an essential ingredient in real American cookies. Instead of the classic vanilla taste there is a light perfume of caramel, which leaves a subtle taste in the mouth and blends perfectly with the oats.
It is clear that if you try these cookies you will become an addict straight away.
Preheat the oven to 150°C. The butter needs to be taken out of the fridge beforehand so it is soft. In a bowl cream the butter with the liquid caramel, the sugar, the brown sugar and the salt with a wooden spoon. Once it is all blended add the egg continuing to work the pastry. Add the flour, oat flakes and the chocolate chips. Mix well.
Shape the balls by hand (a big soup spoon for each cookie).
Put them on a metal sheet covered in baking paper well spaced out as the biscuits expand as they cook (I do them in 2 batches).
Cook for 15 to 20 minutes at 150°C keeping an eye on them.Take them out of the oven using a spatula and leave them to cool on a tray.

To make your soup:
Peel and roughly slice the carrots. Slice the celery. Peel and roughly chop the onions. Peel and slice the garlic. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes. Slice the chorizo. Finely chop the parsley leaves and stalks.
Put a large pan on a high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add all your chopped and sliced ingredients with curry powder and mix together with a wooden spoon. Cook for around 10 minutes with the lid askew, until the carrots have softened but are still holding their shape, and the onion is lightly golden.
Put the stock cubes into a jug or pan and pour in 1.8 litres of boiling water from the kettle. Stir until the stock cubes are dissolved, then add to the vegetables. Give the soup a good stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sweet potato is cooked through.
To serve your soup:
Season with salt and pepper. Using a hand blender, pulse the soup until smooth and scatter over a little finely chopped chili. Divide between your serving bowls and tuck in.

Melt the butter over a low heat. Put the digestives into a blender and pulse until they resemble breadcrumbs. With the motor running on slow, trickle in the butter. Spoon the biscuit mixture into greased chef/rosti rings placed on serving plates. Press the mixture down firmly and chill in the fridge until set.
Place the cream cheese and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat until creamy. Add the double cream and fold in. Add the 2 tbsp of icing sugar and mix in. Spoon this on top of the biscuit mixture and smooth the tops with a palette knife. Chill in the fridge until set, approx. 1 hour.
Place the raspberries into a blender, reserving a few whole ones. Pulse into a puree. Add 1 tbsp icing sugar and pulse to combine. Taste and add more icing sugar if needed, pulsing to combine. Push the contents through a sieve to remove the seeds. Chill, covered, in the fridge until needed.
To serve, carefully remove the chef rings from the cheesecakes, gently heating around the rings if necessary. Place the reserved raspberries next to the cheesecake. Pour a little of the raspberry coulis on top of the cheesecakes and spoon the remainder around the plate.
