Chocolate Chips Cookie

Its been exactly 2 months since my last post.
Alot of happen & taken place during these 2 months.
I went on a mind-changing or better said, self-engaging trip to the far far North.

Trying hard to get back on track to my baking routine.
Life resume after all the hu ha of holidays & CNY doesnt it??
This is the 1st yr since my poly days that i have not baked
pineapple tarts & other goodies for my dear family.
I apologize for failing to keep this up this yr.
This is an exceptionally contridicting year for me.
Had wanted to make almond tuiles when i came back on the 3oJan,
but was seriously jet-lagged and simply not in the correct mind to bake.

These Chocolate Chip Cookies are bake specially for xmas last year.
I try to get back the 'original' taste of these cookies.
These are actually the first few items i bake when i started out baking in my sec sch days.
Bought back the same flour, which i'm not using right now, specially for this batch.
Used back the same brand of butter, the same brand of choco chips.
I gave most of them away, to people whom are special & dear to me.
My mum & james loved the macadamia cookies.
I still have hell lots of mac nuts, have to bake another batch to finish them up soon.

This is a very very simple recipe,
the basic of chocolate chip cookies.
Nothing special or unique used for these cookies.
Its the mind & heart of the baker that makes the real diffference,
not the recipe.
I always enjoy the crunchiness, the aroma, the bite
& probably the memories that these cookies had for me.
I hope everyone could enjoy the simple pleasure & happiness
that this simple recipe brings!
