My son loves cookies... When ever you ask him what he wants to eat he will start his list..his favorite eggs. If you tell him no eggs than its cookies, if no cookies then its chapati, then banana , orange juice and then finally milk. He has been pestring me for cookies for a few days now. So since its the holiday season and everybody is busy making cookies and cakes I too decided to make some cookies.
I got the recipe from joyof baking. The name itself was soo good, melting moments, and sure enough it tasted good too. It was really very delicate, and felt like it melted in the mouth for a cookie.
I didnt change the recipe at all.Why mess with a perfect recipe ha!
