i've been baking all afternoon and the whole house smells like a chocolate factory. i ripped off a recipe from the internet last night and because i'm not exactly miss martha-stewart-bake-a-lot, i followed the said proportions on the recipe, which probably was meant to feed the entire family, block and neighbourhood. as a result, i had enough to make about a zillion batches and ended up with a gazillion cookies lying all over the countertop cooling off. (okok a gazillion is slightly off mark. say about 60 cookies? give or take 10.) here's a photo of my labour of love.
the recipe is pretty good cuz the cookies turned out well. one thing to note: go easy on the sugar. my gawd, i'm never gonna buy off-the-shelf cookies anymore. do u know how much sugar goes into those little bite-size thingies?! major sugar overload! i followed the receipe to the T and found that the cookies were a little too sweet for me. i never had a sweet tooth so this was a little over the top.
thinking of what else to bake next... any ideas?

shoot.. the cookies really look like Famous Amos' choc chip variety.. gotta admit im really impressed.. too bad blogs cant carry the waft of freshly baked cookies. Well done! what next? how about walnut brownies? :-)
i have to admit, i like my cookies too! they look really nice in the cookie jar so i can't bring myself to eat any.
almost, there is a ton of sugar in those things. eekk. i'll bake a batch before i come back and pack them in tupperware for u. :)
