Baking: Oreo cheesecake cookies!!

I went to a bazaar last Saturday at Metro Tent and bought some baked goodies and among them were Oreo cheesecake cookies by Just Sweets which instantly turned into an addiction!!

After then, I've decided to make some myself and decided to share it to youz via blog post :)

~         Ingridients:        ~

1. 1 cup All-purpose flour

2. 3 oz Cream Cheese at room temperature

3. Unsalted Butter, softened

4. 1 cup sugar (in my case, 1/2 Muscovado + 1/2 granulated)

5. 1 tsp Vanilla extract

6. 1 cup Chocolate chips

7. 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

~        Instructions:        ~

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet on baking pan and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth (I was planning on using the hand mixer but the spatula did the job)

Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined (I still used the spatula since I was too lazy to reach for the hand mixer lol)

Add the flour and mix, mix, mix!

Add chocolate chips and mix

Add the crushed oreos and mix them all together!

Once all the ingredients are all well combined, Scoop the dough with a spoon and roll them into balls and place them on the baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the oven or until the edges are golden or slightly brown.  

Cool on the pan for two minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air tight container. I've made 4 batches (about 24 cookies to be exact) with this recipe :)

Enjoy!

* I made these for a certain someone, I hope He liked it.. :D *

le Macho Papas Shopping + Pizza + Overnight

Today we le Macho Papas went to SM Megamall to go shopping (the mall was on sale at that time) it was Twinny who actually asked us to accompany her to buy dresses wherein I suggested we look at forever 21 :) We picked some dresses for her to fit while Daniel bought a nifty Tasmanian sweater which he wore after he bought it. I only bought Cotton on sneakers which I have been eyeing for a while. We ate at Yellow cab when wushi arrived from the gym; me and Parey treated them for our belated Birthday treat last October :)

(That rape-able stare~ omy~)

(That's my slice of pizza! face)

After eating, Daniel went off since he didn't plan on coming to the slumber party at parey's house :)

(I dunno what Parey's doing..)

(They're so adorable watching horror~ covering their eyes and ears and all~)
We watched horror movies and shared stories and drank alcoholic beverages, it was all fun fun fun!! :D

Food Trip: Food Truck Park

I went to SM Megamall for the Mega Christmas Sale yesterday for an early Christmas shopping, I met with Gilli and Tamy afterwards; Gilli suggested we eat at The Food Truck Park, the curious me wanted to try anything new so I was game, we rode a taxi there and Gilli's fried treated the fare :D
I got really hyped after exiting the taxi seeing all the food trucks lined along the street, I tried the Turkey burger and salmon maki, we ate on the grass (picnic-kind-of-way), Tamy treated us some beer while listening to the live band, everything that day was chill and casual :)

We didn't get to take a picture together since we enjoyed the food and music too much, if they would 

I wish they would have another on January so me and the Machopapas could go there :>

Date with Daniel

I'v prompted myself to always bring something when I go on a date with someone, be it a token or baked goods it's just been my habit :)

I didn't get to take a picture of the baked ones so I guess this would suffice, and in case you're wondering what those dome shaped things are, those are Oreo-stuffed Cookies :)

Daniel has been persistent asking me on a date to Ocean park since late August, only just now did it pushed on :D We met at 7-11 and I noticed he hasn't had a decent eye shut, he said that he didn't get any because he was too excited :D 

I was feeding him the cookies I made while he was driving and asking him if the taste was okay, which he replied yes :) We played I spy something in his car to kill boredom :) It would be my first time going to Ocean park so I was really excited! :D We bought the Deep Sea rush ticket which included 5 attractions: Oceanarium, Marine Life Habitat, Jellies Exhibit, Sea Lion Show & Musical Fountain show. We hunted for food because I was really hungry, I ate wendys burger and we then roamed around, We first went inside the Jellies, it was nice not until kids come barging in so we got out of the room and went to Oceanarium, there was a lot of people @A@ we had to wait for the crowd to lessen so we can enjoy the view, there was a time He was staring at the aquarium and upon moving closer he bumped his head on the glass! :D I had a good laugh on that one.

The inner child in me forced him that we color some fish outlines at the activity area.

and damn! we colored the shit out of that fish! lol.

(Left is mine, his is right)

We watched the Sealion show, I dunno if its the same with Marine life habitat but I dunno, I really enjoyed it. We then exited from there to the parking and drove off to MOA for the Superb Supersale bazaar happening at SMX Convention Center. I treated him tickets to the bazaar and let him pick sweaters and pulloevers for me :) I also made him choose the charm for the bracelet I bought, he chose the star since he said it signifies a starfish since we just went from Ocean park and that I like stars. :)

We watched Carrie that time too, I was feeding him my sandwich by hand, I really like doing that :) 

We strolled around by the bay after the movie and talked about almost everything. I really felt so much comfortable around him that I can tell anything and everything to him. He even gave me a short and awkward piggy back ride since I panicked remembering I was wearing a skirt.

That night after walking and talking around BGC we went back to where he parked his car so I can get my stuff since it was getting too late already, he took something from the back of his car and I wondered when did he put the things I bought in a paperbag, then it hit me that it was a surprise birthday gift for my belated birthday :') it was one of the sweetest gesture someone did for me for my birthday, I was so touched that I hugged him so tight while thanking him, he then accompanied me up to our condo unit and I gave him a kiss on the cheek but he suddenly turned his head so I missed his cheek and it was hell lot of close to his lips, I was flustered so I said Thank you and Goodnight and went inside.

before sleeping I texted him to Take care on his way home and Thanks for this day:) 

I unboxed his gift infront of him on skype and I was really surprised of this little fellow, I named him "Pandee" (Panda + Dee) it actually sounds like a ladies undergarment but I don't give a damn :)

I really enjoyed this date with Daniel, the gift was a plus, I was really not expecting anything at all :)

He made it really really special~ and it was surely a day and night to remember :)
