Classic Chocolate chip cookies

First time baking cookies on my own! Turned out pretty nice and soft a little too sweet for me though. I'll add slightly lesser sugar the next time for sure! 

Its white chocolate in cubes!

Before and after.
Chucks of dark chocolate chip and cubed white chocolate chips melts in your mouth. The cookies were soft and chewy.

Ingredient of the day: Sesame

 
The weather today was pretty bad. ( Picture below looks more like an alien invasion rather than bad weather.) Hence staying at home was a good idea.

Because some brat wants cookies I decided to check out some cookie recipe and chance upon an Italian sesame cookie recipe. Its more common to find chinese pastery/ desert with sesame and there was a big packet of sesame lying around. So was pretty curios to see how does Italian sesame cookie taste!

The hand that made the dough smooth. ( need much more flour, about one more cup, than stated in the recipe)

Smell of roasted sesame was fantastic!

These Sesame cookies takes a while getting use to. The first bite was a little tasteless but as you chew, the aroma of sesame fills your mouth. Nice!
