Chocolate is the star ingredient in this recipe. What are your favorite types and brands of chocolates?

I know there are different types of chocolate but then I frequently use one brand and I'm used to that type which is Cadbury Dairy chocolate it is a milk chocolate and it is always creamier and more tasty. It is locally found in my neighborhood at very affordable prices irrespective of the grams

But in this contest, I used dark chocolate in preparing my cookies and it turn out very nice. Dark chocolate always have that bitter like taste but it's always nice as well.

Benefits of using brown sugar?

Generally, brown sugar doesn't have much difference when compares with the white one. Talking about it's benefits, It contains minerals, it aids in digestion, it boast energy just as the white sugar. It can be used for external use on the skin to soothes and glow the skin naturally.

Benefits of brown sugar in the cookies; It adds flavour to the cookies, enhances it tastes and gives it that caramelised sweetness and brownish colour. Brown sugar helps the cookies moisturise rather than being very hard while baking.

Did the final result of your cookies meet your expectations?

Seriously it is my first time of making this type of cookies with chocolate and I didn't actually expect it to come out very fine but I was impressed by the outcome. I have never used brown sugar as well for any pastry but it was also my first time of having a test of brown sugar and it was nice I could say.

In all it turn out more than what I expected it to be, it's really delicious 😋

Thank you so much for going through my post I appreciate your support.

I want to invite @rosselena @chant and @wirngo to take part in this contest
