Chocolate Chip Peanut Cookies

This is a slight variation of the Chocolate Chip Cookies in the last posting. My brother bought a bag of Reese's peanut chips from somewhere so we substituted half the chocolate chips with these. Unlike chocolate chips peanut chips tend to melt into the cookie so compared with the earlier batch, these are sweeter but definitely more fragrant.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I got tired of going out of my way to buy fresh Famous Amos cookies so convince my mum to bake a few batches this year. I find out for the first time that it is actually a two day process.

Day 1: She makes the dough with chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Then, she divides the dough into long rolls wrapped in grease paper. The rolls go into the fridge overnight.

Day 2: It's really easy for here. Just cut up little chunks with a knife and put them on a baking tray. Wait for the wonderful smells...

Cornflake Cookies

It has been a little quiet not because my mum hasn't been baking. Far from it. She has only been making a lot of things that have already been featured mostly fuit cake, muffins and cupcakes.

But seeing as it is drawing close to Chinese New Year. I managed to get her to make some of my favourite cornflake cookies. She first makes the dough with raisins, scoops out dollops into a big bowl of cornflakes, roll the dough around, scoop them up again onto an oven dish, then they go into the oven.

 This is what comes out in the end. Golden brown cookies which are light and crumbly on the inside but crunchy on the outside.
