What...you didn't get them yet? I was sure I sent them to MikeJ, Philippines... There must be something haywire with the postal system here? (can you imagine...)

I followed the recipe exactly, including the sugar type and they turned out okay. My oven sucks, however - I have to set it at least 25C higher than indicated to make it hot enough - I don't yet have a thermometer to confirm so am just guessing...

@Mike J Just baked these yesterday, Mike. These are for you!

Yesterday I bought some molasses. My next cookie adventure will be to try to make molasses cookies like my Mom used to bake for me - always my childhood favourite. I don't have her recipe but I am sure there will be a good one online - one can always hope, right?

I know this is a repeat, but these are so good and always requested by L and her daughter.

This is my version of ECCC - Enhanced Chocolate Chip Cookies.

All set up and ready to go.

Dough with chocolate chips staged with caramel pieces standing by.

Note the rigid "social distancing" I tried to do. I could not find small enough nor suitable masks, so decided to follow the USA president's example and exercise social distancing but not wear masks...Not 2 meters apart but, hey...what do you expect for a small oven?

I'm afraid my feeble attempt at social distancing was a dismal failure.

So now I am nervous and waiting anxiously for the knock on the door to find I may be under arrest, or maybe in my car if I risk taking any outdoors to munch on?

Ah!!! But I just got an idea... we will destroy the evidence through ingestion! Problem solved!

(And next time buying shorts, they will need to be at least one size larger than last time.)

If anyone is interested, PM me and I will share the recipe...

First time in weeks that my local supermarket had any flour. They had small amount of corn starch but today all purpose.

Not sure if you noticed in the ingredients photo? I found unbleached white flour (my preference) a few weeks ago in both Gaisano grocery and even at SM. But it is always hit and miss - sometimes they have that flour and/or yeast and sometimes not - like so many rather specialty items.

Your cookies looks great Tommy , I plan to do some baking myself whenever we get there  but for my part it will mostly be bread I guess.

I am curious to what kind of oven you chosed for your new house?
