The scent of chocolate.



Homemade Toll House cookies.

It was intended to be big. Not just big, it's big big. But we failed in the consistency of size.

Recipe adapted from AllRecipes.com, adjusted to lessen sweetness.
    Our version was:
    225 g butter
    Half a cup white sugar
    2 medium eggs
    A hint of vanilla extract
    250 g all-purpose flour (more was added for desired texture)
    55 g MILO powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    Half a teaspoon cream of tartar
    100 g each semisweet & milk chocolate, roughly chopped
    Chopped hazelnuts
    Crushed almond flakes

    Cookies were baked in 5 batches, 20 minutes for each under 180 degree Celcius. :)

    Much loved and frequently grabbed was the cookie dough, a popularly commercialised ice cream flavour.



    And the next picture shows you the overall presentation of a randomly picked cookie.



    The sweetness was perfectly tolerable, even to elders. (Cup used to measure sugar was a 300 ml size.)

    By the way, MILO is a great substitution to cocoa powder. Bonus? Less bitterness. ;)
