Chocadoodle do!

I wasn't happy with my first batch of chocolate doodles so last night I tweaked the recipe a little and tried again.

I was never great at science at school and baking is quite sciencey (yeah I'm just making words up now) , its been challenging coming up with these new and unique recipes but I'm getting there and as long as I remember to actually add the right amount of flour I'm hoping not to have any major disasters.

After amending the amounts of essence, flour, coco etc I feel I'm on the right track to getting a chocolate doodle I'll be happy with.

I took the new cookies in to work and 8 people polished off 25 cookies in 30 minutes... I'm thinking that's a good sign. They really don't seem to mind being my guinea pigs.

Looking forward to the long weekend and baking a whole heap more!

I've also started looking online about what permits etc I would need to be legally allowed make and sell cookies from my kitchen and to be honest it's all a little scary so for now I'll just keep refining the recipes and work my way towards an end product that I'm happy with. There really isn't much point getting myself stressed about things like will i have to move the cat's food out of the kitchen, I'm guessing it's gonna be a yes to that question.... and there are so many others! 

Anyone with any hints and tips please feel free to share! This is all very new and at times I do feel a little lost.
