After Michelle’s post at Desperately Seeking Crab, I decided to try out the recipe for myself.
I’m not sure what happened, i followed the recipe to a T, but they just didn’t turn out looking the same, in fact, they seem more like cakes than cookies. They rose pretty high, so they seem more cake-like, i guess even though i only put 1 teaspoon baking soda, it was a little too much.
I thought the amount of butter was excessive too, though they did taste yummy. I didn’t use the choc chip bits as they were too expensive, instead i used Nestle Melts and chopped them up by myself.

Another thing i found hard to guess is the temperature settings, which i suppose could have also contributed to the change in texture and shape between Michelle’s and my recipe. I have a fan-forced oven, which i find is hotter than regular ovens, and in some recipes the temperature setting varies as much as 20 degrees. I guess i will have to play around with this recipe and see what temperature works best.
They taste yummy though, and the vanilla just gives it that bit of extra yum. Thanks Michelle!
