A Bit of a Cookie Faliure

Today I decided to try out this Honey Chocolate and Pistachio Bark. Lately I've been liking obsessed with anything pistachio, cookies, muffins, ice cream, and just pistachios by themselves! So anyway, this was something that I had never heard of and I honestly didn't really know what to expect them to be like... I mean it says 'bark' so I my thinking was a very crisp cookie. And I'm sure that's how they are supposed to turn out, but my didn't.
Don't get me wrong this is a great tasting cookie! It may be my new favorite pistachio flavor combination! But I think I would enjoy the cookie (can I call it a cookie?) a lot more if I made them a bit thinner. The edges of them got very golden brown and crispy, but the middles of the bark were a bit chewy... They aren't terrible when they are chewy, but they are a heck of a lot better when they're crispy.
In conclusion, I will definitely be trying this recipe again and making them much thinner. Try it out and let me know how yours come out (:

Honey Chocolate and Pistachio Bark

Ingredients

100g softened salted butter

2/3 cup caster sugar 

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup flour

2 egg whites

1/4 tsp vanilla extract 

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 

1/2 cup crushed pistachios

Preheat the oven to 180 C (about 356 F). Line 3 baking trays with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer combine butter, sugar, honey, flour, egg whites, vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Using a flat spatula spread the batter on the parchment paper lined trays (about the thickness of a coin). Sprinkle with chocolate chips and crushed pistachios. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.
(I substituted caster sugar for granulated sugar and it seemed to work fine... Next time I'm going to use caster sugar and see if it makes a difference. And also I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate cus I'm not a fan of dark chocolate! You could try out all different combinations of toppings! If you try something different let me know! ) 
Also if you spread the batter thinner, keep on eye on them because the baking time will be less. 

One last thing... Please bear with me as I try to figure out this whole blogging thing. I'm still trying to figure out how to take good pictures and where to put them in my posts or if I should even bother taking pictures of the whole process and not just the finished product... If you have any tips on blogging and such I would really appreciate the help! Thanks (:
