A few days ago, I tried to bake the cookies and failed miserably. It was burned and there was no taste, I wasn’t sure I would ever be able make it. But today, I gathered the courage to try it again. And this time, it was perfect. I have started getting better at baking and I am glad that I can now experiment more varieties of cookies in future.
And for some reason, my two year old toddler was excited to see this coming out of oven. So, he became the validator that this one is better than most of the cookies we get from shops, because he does not like any of them.
Anyway, you can try this at home by following the step by step instructions along with photos. And don’t be afraid of failing, because, you will get there anyway. I hope you will love this one as well.

Then turn the cookies to the other side and bake for another 12-15 minutes. If your Oven’s heating rod is on the top, make sure the cookies are not as close else they will be little uncooked from the inside. Main some distance from the rod to have the cookies cooked evenly from both in and out.
