CNY 2017 - WALNUT CHOCOLATE COOKIES

If you have been following my recent posts on cookies, you will notice that most of them are from Yum Yum Magazines.  This I have to say a word of thanks to my sister in-law.  She has a collection of the magazines.  When I told her that I wish to bake  some new cookies for this CNY, she generously lend me a number of  her magazines with cookie recipes.  This recipe is one of the many selected recipes from  them.

These chocolate walnut cookies are aromatic, crispy and crunchy but it spreads a little making it looks flattened.  However, these are good.
Recipe adapted from Yum Yum Magazine No. 93 with modifications
