I tried Phoebe’s Grandma’s famous chocolate chip cookies at the new London Friends experience
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Friends Experience has just landed in London and as well as giving fans the chance to explore some of the show’s on screen sets, several themed foods featured across the show are also available to try.
From Joey’s I’m not even sorry chocolate cake to Monica’s break up jam, there’s even the chocolate chip cookies that were a fiercely kept secret in Phoebe’s family on offer.

Surprisingly the cookies available at the London Friends experience had a homemade taste, which was not the premade kind of flavour I was expecting.
Instead of a manufactured mix like the show mentions, the cookies taste like what you’d imagine a grandma's cookie recipe would be - lots of chocolate chips and the size of your hand if not bigger.

Fans will be able to try the cookie at the Central Perk cafe pop up within the Friends Experience. Tickets start from £20 and are available via the Friends Experience website.
