TeeHee! told you im craving crunchy chocolate chip cookies.
well, i made them this morning, this early morning and guess what? i 80% literally created the recipe.
and it worked! :D
sooooo crunch just how i want them, although i think i still have problem with the baking time because somehow the cookies are slightly underbaked while the look are just perfectly golden brown.
the ones got overbaked slash too brown surprisingly dont have the slightly underbaked problem.
so i think, the baking time isnt right yet.
anyway.. i'll definitely make them again!

and oh yeah, talking about the recipe.. i used some old-skul cookies recipe and tweaked it here and there until this crossed my mind "its not even the basic recipe anymore, this is my recipe! hell!"
and oh, fancy my lego people mit? its really cute isnt it?
wanna know a secret? i never use it for the actual baking, too cute to handle hot pans :p
