Chocolate chip cookies

Baking chocolate cookies is so basic, a superior baking skill is not a prerequisite. That is why I decided to bake these crispy "morish" chocolate chip cookies yesterday. I took this recipe from my mom's old (and ancient-looking) notebook. I reduced the amount of sugar as I am not really very fond of very sweet "sweets." Here are the ingredients I magically tossed into my baking bowl:

- 1.5 cups brown sugar (maybe next time, I will use only 1 cup because using 1.5 cups is still too sweet for me).

- 1 cup butter

- 2 eggs

- 1.5 teasp. vanilla

- 3 cups all purpose flour

- a pinch of salt

- 1 teasp. baking powder

- 1.5 cups chocolate chip cookies ( I used the dark Belgian chocolate chips)

Because I wanted a crispy cookie, I set the oven to 200 C until the cookie turned golden brown. I also made sure the dough was not-so-thick. By "not-so-thick," I meant, it should be at most 7 mm thick.  If you prefer chewy cookies, I suggest you limit the temperature to 150 C.

Oh, forgot to mention. I'm now eating the cookies while sipping a mug of homemade chai tea latte. Feels like I'm at Starbucks right now!
