One night at dinner McKelle and I discovered that Manjola (our host "mom") and Barbara (the other Italian student living with us) had never had a homemade chocolate chip cookie! They just don't make cookies at home like we do in America. We realized what a tragedy this was and decided to make them cookies. Manjola loved the idea so she bought us all of the ingredients and everything. It was so fun cooking in our little kitchen and they turned out great!
It was quite the adventure trying to convert the recipe without access to the internet or any kind of encyclopedia but we did it!
They don't sell chocolate chips so we had to get chocolate bars and crush them up
Zucchero- sugar
McKelle, Manjola and Barbara waiting for the cookies to cook
We burnt the bottom of the first batch but eventually we got the hang of it
They were delicious!
They loved their cookies
We were so happy that they liked our "American" treat
Ok, so this is the first time I have seen Manjola and Barbara. You are right, Manjola is tiny and Barbara is darling! How fun! Let Manjola know I am so thankful for her! What a sweet lady for taking you in and being your "mom"!
