Cookies are definitely more fattening than airy sponge cakes (without rich frosting). But there is something about buttery, chewy, chocolatey cookies that I can't help dreaming about. I cook to de-stress, and mindless mixing that does not require me to think is just perfect. Besides, sharing food is good. You share love and at the same time, calories. :P
The chocolate chip cookie below is made following the recipe I tried last time, except that I used caster sugar in place of granulated sugar. Click here for the recipe.
I should really consider replacing dark chocolate with semi-sweet ones. Sometimes I can't tell if the chocolates are dark or burnt. Also, I will reduce the amount of chocolate.
Another cookie I like is peanut butter cookies, those crumbly, peanutty and slightly salty cluster of peanut butter, chocolate and sugar. Sounds scary, right? But that does put me off from eating those crumbly morsels.

250g smooth peanut butter (I used skippy)
1 egg, lightly beaten
150g light brown caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
100g dark chocolate, chopped
50g shelled peanuts
fleur de sel for decoration (optional)
Preheat the oven to 175°C
1. Mix peanut butter, sugar and baking soda.
2. Add egg and mix well.
3. Fold in chocolate chips and peanuts. Be careful not to break.
4. Line the baking tray. Place scoops of mixture.
5. Bake for 14 mins or less.
6. Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the tray. If not, they will break.
7. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk.
