not the originals

but if you know me, you know one month without baking is too long. 

enter african chocolate chip cookies.

by the way, brown sugar here is very different... its pretty much sugar dripping in molasses. 

i showed my american friends here and they gave the same face... yikes.

hand mixed (not literally) all of the ingredients accessible to me and this is what i ended up with...

a bit lacking and with cadbury chocolate bars cut up as chips, but they actually tasted better than good.

worth it.

(these were the ones left for my roommates and i, the batch made about 40 and with 12 people presently in the house, you can imagine how fast they went- but im not fooling anybody, i love when people eat my baked goods)
