About


This post is dedicated to Bournvita. Yes, you read it right...the reason why I made these cookies today were my fond childhood memories of Bournvita.
When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother what will I be? Will I be pretty, Will I be rich .....Sorry but thats another story, back to ours...
When I was just a little girl, I would gorge on chocolates, biscuits...and bournvita. Just the plain good old powder. My cousin and I would not only have milk with bournvita thrice a day (we were addicted to both milk and bournvita. I still am!), but also secretly eat bournvita powder direct from the jar. We must have emptied quite a number of bournvita jars before, one fine afternoon, my mom inevitably caught us both and we got a good scolding...but that didnt decrease our love for Bounvita, after a couple of days, wie yielded again to temptation and were back to square one.
I have been thinking about this cute little incident since the morning and with these fond memories, decided to bake these bournvita cookies. I am more than happy with the outcome – I am gonna bake them again soon.
