I recently got a gift of “eggless bakes and cakes” books from my a friend and wanted to try out the recipes from it. I had bookmarked these cookies and finally got some time to try them out. Baking is like a stress buster for me. Whenever I’m over-worked or stressed, I just get into the kitchen to bake and it cheers me up. These cookies are chocolaty, crispy from outside and soft inside.While going through these books, I realized how long its been that I read some books. There was a time I always used to have some book in hand. If you are thinking that I was some studious girl engrossed in my school or college books, you are absolutely wrong. I was far far away from being a studious girl and God only knows how I got my college degree 🙂 🙂 … The books I’m talking about are Sidney Sheldon, Nora Roberts, Jeffrey Archer, Danielle Steel..They are few of my favorite authors. So, I finally did something I love yesterday, baked some cookies, got hold of a Jeffrey Archer and enjoyed some “Me time”. So, sharing the recipe with you all and hope you all a great day.
