"Harry, it's our calling card! All the great ones leave their marks."
Home Alone Wet Bandits
If you use Downsizing Diva Durham for your next move, you will find our own ‘calling card’, a plate of delicious homemade cookies to enjoy with your tea or coffee after a long, tiring move day.
This favourite recipe of ours has been enjoyed in our family for many, many years. Not proud, but Diva Robin makes them the best! Hey, for GF folks like me, this recipe works wonderfully with Bob Red Mill's 1-1 Gluten Free flour. I haven't tested other GF brands, but I am sure they would work. The cookies are flatter than the non GF cookies, but my taste buds didn't seem to care.
We hope our customers have enjoyed these over the past few years. Our favourite movers certainly have!
