Though there are so many recipes on hand, being a Sunday it becomes impossible to get a dish done. Amma had guests and relatives coming over for lunch and I was busy helping Amma with that preparation. I was procrastinating to afternoon, it then got extended to evening.
When the boys saw the butter box outside, they wanted a cake right away. I was forced to postpone the cookie baking that I had finalized and set about making the Molten lava cake. This time the centerpiece was cooking chocolate and true to that, it was oozing out.
Another pleasing thing was knowing from my colleague who tried out the Molten lava cake recipe the very day and was happy with it. Then it was another source to whom I had shared this post. She tried it out six times, it being just 30 secs, she went on making it for the entire family, then for the neighbor too. I was so happy hearing how pleased her daughter was.
Now coming to the recipe today, it's a chocolate cookie, and it had melt in the mouth experience is what we are aiming at. I thought the dough might spread but it didn't and you can see it was more of a ball. Taste-wise it was awesome. Next time I will spread it more and then it should be alright.

yummy chocolate again, they now look like nankhatais due to the shape, but like you said, can be flattened if needed (who cares for shape though)
