On the Quest for the Famous Cookie!!!

I'm one of those people that likes to stick to something that has been proven and tested! Yes, I'm one of those people that 9 out of 10 times will order the same dish at the same restaurant, or at the very most, I may venture to order the same type of dish at different restaurants! (I can hear my friend Cheryl nod in total agreement at this!) Anyhow, this habit or trait of mine therefore made it very difficult for me to try a new choc chip cookie recipe this afternoon.

By the way, I havent made the cookies yet... perhaps it is the thought of the unknown of a new recipe that is putting me off.... hahaha just kidding, it's more of the guilt of not having done much study this weekend that is putting me off!

So this afternoon, I was on the quest of finding a recipe for the "Famous Amos" cookies - yes what better and more reliable place than Google itself! Hahaha! For those that may not have tried these cookies yet - it's a tiny taste of heaven! Truly! My bro encouraged me to try and either bake the Amos or Subway type cookies... and not having baked successful versions of these before - (actually I lie... I once baked these cookies that was so much like the subway ones, chewy inside and crispy outside, and even looked like it! But it was weird, it was one of those recipes that only seemed to work on occassions.... too unreliable! I stopped baking them after a few times when they didnt appear Subway-like anymore! It was too discouraging hehehe!) I was extremely reluctant. I preferred to stick to the recipe I last used that worked well :)

Anyhow, I found a semi-convincing recipe on the net that I am tempted to try later... as a reward for reading and digesting the accounting standards on Revenue and Provisions... they should have cookie standards... would be so much easier to understand hehe!

Will let you guys know how it turns out.... that is, unless I change my mind and not bake at all! :)

You not baking is like .... it's like,
- the sun not rising in the morning
- birds not pooping on your car when you park under a tree
- kids not peeing in the public pool

Get my drift, it is just not natural.
