I made, what in my opinion, super sweet m&ms chewy cookie. Well, I was under the impression that it’s one of the best recipes and was hoping that this will be a keeper. I was so wrong.
Anyway, have a look at the source of the recipe and you’ll understand why I was ‘conned’.
I brought them to office and these are what some testers said:
- Tester 1 (avid baker too): These taste great! Can I have another one? (he went on to help himself to his 3rd helping while I wasn’t looking, or so he thought! 🙂 )
- Tester 2 (Face in cramps): Szu, these are very sweet! (Yes I know, I warned you)
- Tester 3: mmmm… these are good! Homemade ones are better than Betty Crocker anytime.
- Tester 4: Very sweet? Nah, I’ll pass.
Personally, I like cookies that are not so sweet, has to be chewy, hopefully not too fattening too. I’m still in search of the one cookie that I feel is worth the calories-overload that’s why while I like cookies, I don’t eat them often.
Perhaps it’s the same for everyone. We each have a mental picture of how cookies should taste, its texture, fillings, thickness, size etc, and each is unique.
One day, I will succeed in making the type of cookies I want. One day, that uniquely-cookie day shall arrive. I hope it’s the same for you if you haven’t found yours.
