Smells Like Coffee

Got a packet of Famous Amos cookies from Mbak Ida and Mas Ario at Jakarta.. yay!!

My favorite is "Double Chocolate & White", chocolate cookies with chocolate and white chocolate chips. Wait! Shouldn't it be a "Triple Chocolate"?? Anyway, sorry I didn't get the picture of that one. They were fall down to my mouth like raindrops.. :P

Well I guess for the next couple of days we'll going to have cookies and coffee for breakfast, hehe.. 

And finally got this Elle Indonesia April edition. I've been searching it for a few days, and finally got it at BBC bookstore, and this was the last one that they had! Well, I think I'm gonna need more time to read all of the 1000+ pages..

Have a nice day!

Here comes the rain again..

My internet connection at home was in a very bad condition for the last few weeks.
I hate it! :(

But here is something that I really like to do at home: bake..!! I was wondering how to make a nice cookie, so I looked for some recipe and got this great one from allrecipe.com. My first try was really good actually, very surprised me because it was really sweet and yummy and I just learned that a fresh-from-the-oven cookie taste really G.R.E.A.T..!! :-9

However, since some of my family and friends said it was too sweet, so even though me and (especially) Sats loves the sweet taste of it, I made some changes on the recipe and came out with my very first cookie recipe of mine, yaayy..!! Although I cut down some ingredients, the taste are still great! I keep on making it like every once in a week ever since I found that recipe, heheeee.. :D

For this one, I changed the chocolate chips with some dark chocolate chunks..

Have some with a cup of hot coffee, or tea, or milk, maybe? and it would really make your day..!! ;)

Have a nice weekend..!!

I was read about Mrs. Fields on a food blogger post a few days ago, and here we are in a very crowded Jakarta city, in a searching of some tasty chewy freshly made cookies..

We went to Summarecon Mall Serpong 2 yesterday and tried these nibblers (small cookies) and a cup of hot cappuccino with a bear face latte art on top. Yumm~  :-9

My favorites are the Chewy Fudge and White Chocolate Macadamia.

Have a nice long-weekend folks..!! :D

Sats once ask me why I wrote the word "macaron" instead of "macaroon" on my first post about it. Who knows that missing an "o" in a word could cause so many problem?? For you that think a macaroon is a cute and colorful little dessert made of egg white and filled with jam, nnnggggg.. you might get it wrong. Well, not completely wrong, since the English word "macaroon" is derived from the French "macaron". I might not a true expert here but I love them so much that make me feel like I have to let you guys know that the right word is actually "macaron", drop one of the o please!

MacarOn is known as a French dessert, although there has been much debates about its origin because some have traced that an Italian pastry chef brought them to France. It's a sandwich-like pastry that come in a variety of colors and flavors.

Here is the basic split of a single macaron:

1 part cookie [ground almonds + egg white + sugar] +

1 part filling [buttercream, ganache, jam] +

1 part cookie [ground almonds + egg white + sugar] =

1 complete macaron [happiness] :)

While macarOOn is a small cake or meringue-like cookie. Although both macarOn and macarOOn use egg whites, they look totally different. MacarOOns usually use coconut (the American way) in their ingredient, and sometimes topped with a tiny slice of cherry

MacarOOn is more like a small and simple cookie, and often dipped in chocolate.

You might know that the "oo" in macarOOn spells like "broom" or "room". Now how to spell macarOn? It's "maka-ron" just like the name Ron. Few people pronounce it like it rhymes with the vowels in "room" but I go with the short one.

So, for you that have been wondering, I hope this could help. ;)

Have a nice day..!!
