Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today we finished making Cookies with Chocolate also known "Chocolate Chip Cookies". We started the process on Wednesday and today, on Wednesday we first made the cookie dough using flour, white sugar, butter, baking powder, Vanilla Essence and Chocolate Chips. Today we equally halved the cookies and moulded them all into equally circle shapes then we shaped them using a fork.

Then it was placed into the oven (350 degrees/180C) for about 9 minutes until the edges turned brown.

The cookies tasted overall pretty good, it wasn't too sweet or bland it was equally sweet and bland. although there were minor issues at the start it all turned out well at the end. I really enjoyed the scent of the cookies, it smelled very lovely and refreshing. personally, I like the flavour vanilla in different varieties of things.

The cookies felt very rough on the outside, it was very different from the inside of the cookies, the inside felt very soft and mushy, when I first took a bite I expected it to be hard like other normal cookies but it was different. I think the reason why is because it was freshly made even though it was cooling down.

Overall I enjoyed making the cookies very much even though there were some minor issues when making the cookie dough.
