Foodnote
This is a basic chocolate chip cookies recipe I guess. Realized it is similar to white chocolate chip oatmeal cookies except for few main ingredients. The first time I used Aalst chocolate chips instead of Hersheys... only because I saw MUIS halal logo on it. I prepared the batter and keep it in the fridge. Going out to volunteer for Project Joy today... so will bake it in the evening after iftar. Since this is for Hari Raya, I double the portion.

This recipe is different than the one that I used every year. That recipe called for peanut butter... but since peanut butter usually have lots of additives, I think this recipe is healthier. Hhhmmmm like real har har har... Nice, sweet, chocolatey... I am sure the kids are going to love this.
