I got this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies from some magazine few months ago but didn't get to make it till recently. I've always loved to bake but didn't really master anything in particular. Most of my bakes are touch and go, meaning I only managed to make the same thing once or twice and even when they didn't really turn out well, I didn't have any chance to do them again due to my busy schedules with the kids. After shifting to the new house with better equipment and space, I started to pick up my baking again with selective recipes that I thought the kids will like.
Before I tried this Chocolate Chip cookies recipes, I've also tried the Coconut flavoured drops, which turned out quite nice (too bad the kids doesn't seemed to like coconut so it wasn't well received). After that sis and I tried the Orange Cranberry drops, which turned out too soft and chewy...
I did sat down to think what went wrong in my bakes that didn't turn out right the way it should be and realised that maybe I didn't really know how to work on my new oven. True enough, the last time I baked this few weeks ago, I got the same chewy and flat cookies similar to the Orange Cranberry drops in the first batch that I baked, and then subsequently, I adjusted the time and temperature suggested in the recipe according to my hunch and finally got it right on the third batch. The kids loved the cookies and finished it rather fast.
Just today, they ate the last few cookies left in the morning and pestered me to bake it again for them. Feeling encouraged, I decided to bake another round of this for them tonight. Altogether this recipe is enough to get me about 80 cookies in all. This will be enough to last them for at least 2 weeks.
