So there seems to be a collective belief that I have been keeping my chocolate chip cookie recipe a secret. Many have accused me of sabotaging the recipe I have given them. This is hardly the case. I must give credit to my sister, Rumnik, who is famous for these cookies and first introduced me to them when she made for the 2009 Toronto Sikh Retreat. I credit her for sharing this recipe with me and for all of you out there who have asked me countless times here it is….finally.
