Chocolate Chip Cookies

Freshly Home-Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is similar to the one that I used in my previous blog entry on White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookies at http://myculinarymemoirs.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/white-chocolate-and-macadamia-nut.html. This recipe was adapted from ‘Taste.com.au’ and written by Dixie Elliott from Super Food Ideas – August 2004, Page 47.

Some of the changes that I made to the recipe were to use chocolate chips instead of white chocolates and macadamia nuts. Also, I preferred my cookies to have a crispy texture so I baked them for 20 minutes instead of 12 – 15 minutes in the oven.

The turnout was rather great. Crispy, slightly crunchy and tasted delicious for a cookie lover! This is an easy-to-follow and hassle free recipe. Have fun baking!
