Gonna celebrate 2 of my friends' birthdays tomorrow. Decided to make cookies for them as birthday presents! Reused my Anna Olson's recipe, modified a little to reduce the fat and sugar content with minimal effect on the result. This time I also divided the cookie dough into two and added white chocolate and macadamia nuts to one portion, and milk chocolate to the other.Decided to use chopped chocolate bar for the milk chocolate portion because I have this bar of baking chocolate lying around since I started baking few months ago. Was dumb and bought random chocolates which labeled "for baking" without considering the percentage of cocoa hahahha It actually gave a pretty good result because the chocolates are chopped coarsely so it gave a generous dosage per bite which melted nicely on the tongue. The chocolate shavings which came off from the bar during the slicing also gave the cookie a rustic look.
For the white chocolate portion, am pretty pleased that I didn't burn them this time. My previous 2 attempts baking them at the typical cookie baking temperature burnt the white chocolate chips and the appearance wasn't too....appealing.
Looks like I need a bigger cooling rack :/
