Chocolate Chip Cookies

Jayne's afternoon tea break - a cup of banana fresh milk, and few pieces of our home baked chocolate chip cookies.



I do have any fancy baking applicances, this hand-held mixer is from my mother, a very old fashioned type of mixer whereby one can feel the virbation after holding on for a while. Jayne is always the one who enjoys holding it, nothing beats the fun of it ! I cant find any big enough bowl to use, hence i get this plastic bowl ? No, is not a bowl, is actually a type of mesuring "pail" as there are the "cc, ml, gm"printed on one side of the "bowl" I bought it long time ago and cant remember where.



'T was sticky at first, she has to use a chopstick to "dig" out the mixture, and later it becames not like the pic on the receipe, as firm as "play-doh".

When i put in the tray, the shape was nice and round but then, after a while it spreaded and becames flat.

I wondered why ? It must has something to do with that "watery" mixture (i guess).

Overall, the taste and the crunchy was there. I put the cookies in a air-tight tupperware container, and let Jayne bring it to school to share with her friends. Guess what - everyone was asking for more.....

try freezing the dough before baking. it helps to prevent over spreading
