I actually did not bake these cookies recently; baked them last year in June and brought them to the office for the colleagues to try. The recipe kind of reappeared as I was tidying my study room.

I’m not quite sure what’s up with me. It seems that I have been hit by the cookies bug recently. I’ve been baking cookie after cookie. I used to shy away from baking cookies because I found them too ’simple’, but I’m now starting to appreciate the lesser work and lesser cleanup to be done after […]
