Cookieventure # 5: Christmas Giveaways: Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

Every year, we give small gifts to our friends, and colleagues like planners, pens, notepads, etc. But this year, we've decided to give out something more personal - home-made cookies and cupcakes.

Earlier this week, we dropped by my favorite store, Limcon, to buy a few ingredients and materials. We were able to buy, a pack of mini cups, plastic pouches, cupcake boxes, mini cupcake tray, confectioner's sugar, and other ingredients used in the previous post for only Php 747.50.

The cupcakes that we made are the same ones as did before (found here: http://mycookietasticdiary.blogspot.com/2013/10/cookieventure-2-chocolate-cupcakes-with.html), except that we used smaller cups to achieve a bite size version. We also used yellow coloring to give color to our frosting, and added sprinkles for color (it is after all the colorful holidays).

Cookieventure # 3: Blueberry Cheesecake

Sunday's best is what is in store for today. :)

Due to my husband's request some weeks ago, I finally gave in and made my mom's all time favorite Blueberry Cheesecake - to which I am now guessing will be one of my husband's favorites too.

The recipe I used to follow was the one I found inside a store-bought butter's packaging. But I always end up adding my own flavour to it.

Now, let's get it on.

Cookieventure # 2: Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

As previously mentioned, this weekend is all about requests. Thus, we're keeping the Cookie Book in the shelf for now and make use of another cookbook gift from my brother (which inspired this diary, actually). I know! He loves me too much that he buys these cool books for me. Or he maybe he just loves to eat, and wants me to make them for him. Haha. Whichever it is, I'm just grateful for it.

Cookieventure # 1: Scottish Shortbread

Today, I started the challenge to bake all the recipes in the 500 Cookies book as mentioned in my previous post. And to make the choosing a little simpler, I chose the first recipe found in the book - Scottish Shortbread.

I chose this because, since it was the first recipe, I'm guessing it would be the simplest cookie to make. I may have made a cake before, but hey, I need to go back to my basics.
