KBB#15: Mud Cake Cookies Sandwiches
Cookies need to rest in a fridge so when it goes into the oven it will set until it baked and not widely flattern.
For the cake, I didn't follow the time from the recipe but shorter so it has Chewy bite...thats what I like.
Just before finish this writing My half just told me that he couldn't finish 1 cookie cos it is too heavy, so he will eat the rest in the evening..lol and I asked how was the cookie, he said very nice but heavy( I didn't try it yet).
I always late when it comes to challenge...anyway, I managed to do it yesterday. The sandwich actually simple to make but reading the recipe makes you feel like its so complicated. ( read the bold italic texts for the easy way).
