The Best Cookies in London | Eater London

"Desserts at Leila’s Shop are in the custody of baker supreme Stroma Sinclair — formerly head pastry chef at Skye Gyngell’s Spring — and cookies regularly feature in various guises. YQ Fig Newtons offer a masterclass in regenerative baking, recreating the Nabsico-trademarked supermarket variety with a homemade fig conserve using produce sold at the shop, and YQ flour grown at Turners of Bytham and milled at Tuxford Mill. While nostalgia is a key ingredient in most cookies, Stroma takes this up a level with the likes of ravishing ginger snaps, homespun YQ digestives, and jammy thumbprint cookies. These cookies don’t try too hard to impress, but massively over-deliver thanks to top quality ingredients and masterful execution." - Emma Louise Pudge
