Yum! Yum! Yum!

Usually I am not a big fan of cookies or any sweet stuff. ( but love Salty and Sassy stuff ;-) ).  But some times I feel like crave for freshly baked cookies. When they are fresh out of the oven, will be slightly warm,  really soft, chewy and melts in mouth, the whole experience feels so comfortable and delicious. ( May be that's why these days even 'freshly baked cookie' flavored scents and fresheners are coming in the market). So one day We ( me and my little helpers) decided to make Chewy Chocolaty Chip Cookies for a Cookie Exchange event. This is a long time due recipe from last Christmas and now jumping into space here... Njoy!

Add the flour mix and make a thick dough and stir in chocolate chips.

5. Remove from oven and let them cool for 1 to 2 min. transfer them to wire rack and let cool completely. And Enjoy the little treats when they warm.


If there will be any left after your little helpers and hungry hubby from office finishes these warm cookies, store them in air -tight container for up to 1 week.

Tips:

• Keeping the oven temperature at 325 will make the cookies soft and chewy. 
• After 8 min watch carefully these can turn dark pretty quickly.
