Remember when the Sesame Street character Cookie Monster says 'Me Eat Cookie' whenever his stomach craves for a bunch of cookies? That was exactly the case during one of my recent trips to Taft.
One such cookie that I stumbled upon is a home-baked one. Chewy, melt-in-your-mouth, and sweet is what I described of this cookie. But this cookie is neither baked in a well-known factory nor artificially enhanced for your palate. It is actually a venture of one of my friends in college.
Kyla Olives, my fellow communication arts batchmate who also majors in advertising, has been baking and selling these cookies since 2009. While not in the classroom to study nor in the field to practice or play, she devoted some of the free time to bake these concoctions for her friends. The cookies slowly gained a following among her friends and other peers, and soon after, even I got into the sweet stuff.
Kyla accepts orders through her online bakeshop in order to produce the exact number of cookies to be sold the following day. Originally she sells then by herself with the help of some of her softball teammates and other friends, but recently she decided to sell them at Food Channel inside the One Archers condominium. The cookies sold are: chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and peanut butter oatmeal cookies. The chocolate chip cookies are sold for P30/cookie, while the peanut butter cookies are sold for P35/cookie.
I have positively enjoyed the cookies because of its chewy texture, its sweet taste, and its melt-in-your-mouth feel. The combination of oatmeal and chocolate chips contributed to its sweetness; if you're trying the peanut butter variety, the flavor meshes similarly. The cookies are big enough to enjoy over and over again. As for the feel, it may be soft but chewy enough to the palate. The cookies are a delightful treat, even children can take a bite out of this. Here's my verdict: 4.5/5 stars.
