COOKIES:o)

Basically, the story goes like this...Jisca and I were talking the other day about how much we missed baking. Then David and I went to Ubud (Bali), and we were having a drink at this cute little cafe (that happened to sell some cookies)...when the little light went on in my head that if they can bake cookies here, maybe I could too.

So I propositioned them that I would give them my "famous" recipe if they would let me help make them and then they could sell them. How can you refuse an offer like that?!?! So after a brief phone conversation with the owner (whom I'm pretty sure was Canadian or American), the date was set for me to come back and make cookies. It was so much fun...they didn't turn out exactly right, but I guess that's to be expected as we had to use palm sugar and white sugar instead of brown, a dutch oven and it was so hot that when I stirred the dough, most of the chocolate chips melted into the dough....but they still tasted quite good and it was great therapy for me:o)
