Martha Stewart’s Chewy Chocolate Cookies

03Nov09

I love chewy cookies. I don’t eat cookies often enough because cookies make you fat… with all that sugar and butter and the simplicity of the process… that’s why.

葱油饼
I’ve been eating green onion pancakes since I was born. I don’t like how restaurants make them so oily and burnt. I like the way my mother makes them. You can also buy them pre-made (frozen) in Chinese supermarkets but they are very thin and do not taste very good.
