I hope your weekend turns out better than our chocolate chip cookies!
It's been interesting learning the French version of what I'd call simple ingredients at home...
flour? Ahhh! the flour aisle at the super market is so intimidating - so many kinds! In order to get all-purpose flour like at home, you have to either mix two or three different types or buy an expensive Bio type that is "similar" according to an online post.
brown sugar? Non-existent - but I found some last weekend in Paris at a fancy grocery store.
vanilla extract? Can't find it here - but I bought something that smelled like vanilla hoping it would work.
chocolate chips? Nope - gotta cut chocolate bars! And there are different types of chocolate too - unfortunately, it's not your standard "milk" and "semi-sweet" chocolate choices.
These are only a few of the tricky ingredients necessary for cookies. I'm blaming the flour choice this time!
