White Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie
It really looks like an ordinary chocolate chip cookie. But ah! There is a subtle difference. I added melted white chocolate in the batter.
It's hard to taste the difference but it's there.
I taste the white chocolate more in the after-taste if at all.
People who could taste the difference couldn't identify what the difference was, so I guess I won't be making these again, since I can use the white chocolate for other stuff instead.
Maybe I should add more white chocolate in the batter? take out the dark chocolate chips?

Thin Mints
Homemade thin mints! :) Thin mints have always been my favorite girl scout cookies. Last night I decided to make them!
There are no eggs, and no baking powder or baking soda in these. I guess that's how it's so crunchy :)
After making the dough I rolled it into two logs and put them in the freezer for 1 hour or so to make them firm. Then after preheating the oven I cut slices of the log, which are the cookies!
After the cookies cooled, I made the glaze/coating. It's just chocolate and butter melted together, really. I added some more peppermint extract because I felt like the cookie part itself didn't have enough. With that, I basically dipped each cookie in the coating and put them on a tray to cool completely and so the coating would harden.
I keep them in the fridge because I like them better cold :)
