Chewy Mochi Cookie

Last night, my sweet daughter politely told me that she is so sick of eating cakes these days as I had been testing numerous recipes for a project.

I do agree with her on this aspect and she suggested that I bake her some cookies instead.I had bookmarked someChewy Mochi Cookie recipes some weeks ago as both of us like mochi and incorporating it into a cookie sounds interesting.Coincidentally, I saw my IG friend attempted it and gave a good review.So no more dallying for me.I made just a small batch because I need to finalized one last cake trial so this meant that I have one more cake to eat again.haiz. 

Findings: This cookie tasted really nice, the cocoa powder plays a huge role in this giving it an intense chocolately flavour, and with the added chocolate chips, my family totally love it.
But we find that this is best eaten within the baking day and thankfully, suspecting the mochi will turn hard, I only done a small batch.
Just enough to satisfy those rumbling tummies.
