A man tried the UK's most expensive cookie - costing £26 - but said it wasn't any better than sweet treats from Tesco.   Callum Ryan, 23, visited the bakery inside The Berkley Hotel in Knightsbridge to try one of their famous cookies.  The bakery is owned by French pastry chef, Cedric Goulet - who is famous for winning the best pastry chef in the world three times.   Callum picked out a chocolate chip cookie which cost him £26.45 with a service charge.   But the content creator was "disappointed" with his choice - claiming it tasted like "sand".

00:00I bought the most expensive cookie in the UK and you will not believe how much it cost.

00:04This is the famous Cedric Roulet's bakery based inside the Berkeley in Knightsbridge.

00:08As you can see the atmosphere is beautiful and it's the perfect spot for a bit of a sweet treat.

00:11So whilst I was there I ordered one of the famous cookies and a glass of tap water because there's

00:14no way I'm paying £12 just for a freshly squeezed orange juice. I can't wait for you to see how much

00:19I paid for this cookie. Anyway, now it's time for the actual important part, it's time to try it.

00:22The cookie was actually freshly baked which actually set my expectations pretty high because

00:26but for the price I paid it almost tasted like it had sand in it. The texture was just off and

00:31sort of tasted a bit raw, it didn't even taste like it was cooked at all. Don't get me wrong,

00:34the atmosphere and presentation was a pleasant experience but I wouldn't say it's any better

00:38than the cookies I get from Tesco. But wait till you hear about the cost, £26.45. Honestly,

00:43I couldn't even eat the whole cookie, I had to send it away to be put into a takeaway box so

00:47that my girlfriend could give it a try when we got home. If I'm being completely honest with

00:50you it'd be a nice one-off experience to go in there and get a coffee or a hot chocolate or

00:53something but I'd definitely stick to your local bakery for your regular sweet treats. So guys,

00:57let me know in the comments if you have any other crazy food items you'd like me to try.
