Cookies + Washi Tape

Cookies.  I wanted to do something nice, and at the same time be in the flow.  I would like to get lost in an activity.  I have decided to bake chocolate chip cookies that my husband could bring to his colleagues this morning. That's it.  I remember, it always cheers me up when someone comes to my desk in the office, offering chocolates,  especially when a hot freshly brewed coffee is sitting peacefully beside the computer.   Yesterday afternoon  filled the kitchen with aroma of chocolate and cookie dough.

Before: 


With all the posts of washi tape on Pinterest, it got me intrigued.  So I went to Daiso Store and found some washi fabric tape.  A Japanese value for money concept store filled with hard to find items that start with Dhs 6 less than $2.  

After :

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Medium Sized Scoops- 80 cookies

Ingredients 

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cups packed brown sugar
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon  lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions
1. Cream butter in a large bowl.  Add both sugars and beat on medium for 2 minutes.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each condition. Add lemon juice and vanilla, mix well

2.In  a separate bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture and stir well to blend.  Add chips and nuts, stir until evenly distributed.

3.  Drop 1 1/2 table spoon or a medium sized OXO Good grips cookie scoop on parchment lined baking pans 2 to 3 inches apart.  Bake at 350 degrees F  (175 degrees C) for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.  Cool; remove paper and cool completely on wire racks.

The cookie yields to roughly around 2 3/4 inch diameter.



I'm now returning back to my easel.
Happy baking to you all!
Have a fun Tuesday!
XOXO,
Arni

    Thanks Elle, I'm looking forward to take a trip down to that store again for new colors and patterns. By the way, Garnier BB cream are now available here. :)

    Hi Sherry, the scent of cookie dough and chocolate makes me feel like a kid. It reminded me of your chocolate party. :)
