This recipe took about one hour and makes around five dozen cookies. Now the recipe had a picture along with it, and my cookies, unfortunately looked nothing like it. The picture showed the cookie to be a darker shade of brown, whereas my cookies came out a lot lighter. But it was probably because I didn’t have chocolate squares, only chocolate chips, so I had to guess at how much I needed. The picture also showed the cookies not expanding as much as mine did, but I’m still not sure why. But besides all the differences with the picture and actual cookies, they came out pretty good.
