Crunchy Double-Chocolatey Cookies with Macadamia

After many days of baking cakes, decided to bake something else today. Since my children are having their mid-year school holiday now, i thought it would be nice to fill up our cookie jar for them to snack and some for their daddy to bring to office to eat.

To start off with my list of cookie baking, they have chosen their favourite Chocolate cookie.

Everytime when i bake, my boys love to join in too. Especially QJ who attended baking classes before at Bakerzin. I think its great bonding between parent & child too!

So today, i got an extra pair of hands here helping me out.

The final product of love ...
