Chocolate chip cookie with nutella stuffing recipe + food photos :D

So before i left for cairns, i baked some cookies for my friends to bless them before i leave and for the last lap of the semester/more stressful period of a student's life

some of my friends really liked it so here's the recipe that i used! http://justonecookbook.com/blog/recipes/chocolate-chip-cookies-with-nutella-recipe/

i didnt pipe cos me trying to pipe was an utter failure. i just used a teaspoon which worked quite well, plus you cover it up with dough anyway so you dont really see the shape of the chocolate inside

but this recipe has
1. brown butter
2. chocolate chip
3. nutella
4. sea salt

so you can imagine its goodness ! i think i was having issues rolling it into a ball initially, but it got better (:

the nutella drops!

dry and wet ingredients 

electric mixer that i got as a gift <3

done!

the gifts i made for my friends :)

packed cookies :D the other cookie inside was peanut butter oatmeal (:

Gonna end off with more photos of food (: this was tonight's dinner: 

Pumpkins + Apple + Carrot + Onion - was a tad too sweet but i liked it! a keeper for me with some tweaking to  make it less sweet 

pasta with sausage/chorizo, spinach, mixed veg in creamy pesto sauce baked with egg and cheese topping, i love baked eggs! this one was a bit too dry for my liking though, i think there needs to be more liquidy sauce before puting into the oven and less cooking time! 

okay more next time! being in the kitchen is something i find extremely therapeutic, i love spending a whole afternoon in the kitchen and whipping up a good meal, and sometimes it makes me excited knowing that i can do this for my family in the future, in a kitchen that i furnish! that being said, i need to control my shopping tendencies, especially in kitchen shops. walked into robbins kitchen today and was so fascinated by so many things there! walked out with a new rice cube and casserole. :x

also, i realised now that im back for cairns with people i can actually talk to, im talking a bit too much, need to learn to keep quiet! but one thing ive been sharing with my friends is how i feel really happy about being 23, but also because i think God has really taught me how to find my security in him, to know that it is my journey with him, and who i am, is who i am in my journey with Him. so in my imperfections and flaws, i can be fully secure. in my differences from the people around me, there is no need to fear. and no need to constantly worry about what the people around me think,. and lastly, it also helps knowing that this "I" needs to constantly decrease. the more i learn how to think less about myself, the more free i can be as well. it is not about what people think about me, simply because, "I" dont have to prove anything about myself to anyone. less of me and more of God, have a good night everyone <3
