10 Home-Based Merchants Baking Delicious Cookies

Me Want Cookie: 10 Manila Home Bakers That Sell These Sweet Treats

by The Click List

Cookies are flat 'little cakes' (cookie comes from the Dutch word koekie which translates to that!) that are baked soft, chewy gooey, or are crumbly and crisp; it can come in many kinds of textures and flavors so cookies remain fun treats to eat. Its beginnings are traced to cakes, actually -- they were the small test pieces from cake batter.

Chewy, crispy, or chunky--what's your cookie preference?

Cookies can be as simple and classic as a butter and sugar combo, or the all-time favorite chocolate chip. They can be very diet-specific with sugar-free, gluten-free, no-bake, or vegan options--they can come loaded with everything-but-the-kitchen-sink, too (there's actually a cookie named exactly that). It's as versatile, mobile, and fun to eat as cupcakes--perhaps the cookie is so delightfully maddening that it inspired that childhood song game 'Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?'

Pro-tip: pop your cookie in the oven to warm it up, then serve with ice cream (and other fun toppings) for an ala mode explosion, just like this dessert from Wicked Kitchen

Perfect combination: go classic with your cookie experience by pairing it with cold milk

There's no denying that the cookie craze in the metro is strong, especially as delicious giveaways by the dozen for the holidays. Get ready to unleash the cookie monster in you in this edition of The Click List as we present you 10 home-based merchants baking delicious cookies, all ready for your picking (if you're out and about and want a cookie to nibble on, though, do try visiting some of Manila's bakery-cafes!).  Share your cookie finds with us in the comments section and let us know your top picks!
