When you sin, it was said that a black dot appears on your heart. I wonder just how dark and messed up my heart would look if I can see it now. May Allah purify my heart and accept my deeds during this month as it is in need of cleaning.
Everyone is saying how Ramadan has passed us by so quickly, and they’re right. Although the truth is that our life is passing by us, faster and faster every day and the day we enter our graves is only coming closer with every breath we take. So ask yourself, what have I prepared for my grave?
Weh sumpah la ni ONE of the best chocolate chip cookies i ever taste serious tak tipu oi. Memang ni masuk list the best ones. Bayangkan, cookies ni crispy dekat luar pastu pergh peh peh! Chewy lembut je dekat tengah2. Allahu. Sumpah kecur liuq. But yeah, mana ada cookies yang tak sedap kan huhuhu. Okay? And guess what? Qila jumpa tiga resepi 'chewy-soft' chocolate chip cookies dari AveryCooks which are:
Memang penat sikit duk try and hafal rasa each recipe ehehe. But takpe! Demi cekolet chips yang sedap na mampos hahah! Ok so here's the comparison.
CHOC CHIP AND CHUNK COOKIES - rasa dia sedap! Tapi mcm typical and keras sikit compare to creamcheese bawah ni.
SOFTBATCH CREAM CHEESE CHOC CHIP COOKIES - dia kurang kan butter sikit, and tambah cream cheese. Hasilnya, sangat sangat lembut mashaallah! Memang mcm brownies uhuhuhu.
Okay ni qila ada translate sikit ek the resepi haha. Sebab mat salleh ni selalu guna by cup. Pening haku. And lepas google bagai baru la qila translate ihihih. And qila ada kurangkan gula sebab lebih kan chocolate chunks tu peh peh peh memang meleleh! Heee.
INGREDIENTS:
•1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
•¼ cup cream cheese, softened (use cream cheese in a block or spreadable, don't use fat-free, light or whipped)
•¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
•¼ cup granulated sugar
•1 large egg
•2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•2 teaspoons cornstarch
•1 teaspoon baking soda
•Pinch salt
•2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (I used 1 cup chips and 1 1/4 cups chunks)
Tweak-ed Ingredients by me: •1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
•¼ cup (57g) cream cheese, softened (use cream cheese in a block or spreadable, don't use fat-free, light or whipped)
•¾ cup (171g) brown sugar
•2 teaspoons of white sugar
•1 large egg
•2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•2 1/4 cups (288g) all-purpose flour
•2 teaspoons cornstarch
•1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bikarbonat) BUKAN BAKING POWDER OK.
•Pinch salt
•3/4 cup chocolate chips + 1 cup DARK chocolate bar chunks + 1/2 cup of any nuts (i used cashew nuts)
DIRECTIONS:
Combine the butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until well-creamed, light and fluffy, about 5 mins.
+ the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, optional salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
+ chocolate chips and chunks.
Using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop, form heaping mounds (I made 30). Cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days, before baking. Do not bake with warm dough because cookies will spread and bake thinner and flatter.
Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet &
Spaced at least 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just beginning to set, even if slightly undercooked, pale and glossy in the center.
Do not bake longer than 10 minutes as cookies will firm up as they cool (The cookies shown in the photos were baked with dough that had been chilled overnight, allowed to come to room temp for 15 minutes, and were baked for 8 minutes, with trays rotated at the 4-minute mark. They have chewy edges with soft, pillowy centers).
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
Okay!!! Kalau nak buat cookies yang sedap, ni lah tips tips dia ok? no matter which one you try:
Use butter. If it isn’t butter, don’t bother. Just don't use margarine la. Really.
Milk chocolate chunks – I like to buy the dark chocolate bar (cadbury, beryl, etc), chop it up and use in ONE recipe. You can substitute any flavour if that’s what you prefer.
Chill the dough. No matter what. Trust me. Portion into dough balls and chill, covered, in the refrigerator OR put whole of dough directly in the freezer.
Use dark brown sugar if possible, even if the recipe calls for light brown. Dark brown provides more caramelized brown sugar flavor.
Don’t bake at less than 350 degrees. I often preheated the oven to 375 or even 400 degrees, put the cookies in at 375 for a few minutes then lowered the heat to 350 or 360. This helps the cookies set faster before they spread too much. But I don't recommend baking the whole time at 375 or 400 or else the chips start to burn before your cookies are done.
Don’t overbake! Ever. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the middles don’t look like raw melted dough. If the edges are already too brown and the middle still looks doughy, take them out anyway. Once they set, they’ll still be okay. But if you overbake, make sure overbake untill it become whole crunchy hahaha. Takkan jadi soft cookies dah la hihi.
Make the dough balls big, at least golf-ball size. This isn’t the time to be dainty.
Don’t bake too many at once. The beauty of making dough balls and freezing them is you can bake only as many as you need when you need them.
TADAAAA THIS IS MINE!!!!

This is hands down one of my favorite skin treatments to do on a weekly basis. Stimulating and promoting blood flow to your face using these techniques is super beneficial for promoting healthy, vibrant and glowing skin by increasing oxygen and nutrients to your cells, helping to produce collagen which is great for anti-aging, smoothening and preventing wrinkles, reducing puffiness, defining your features as well as helping to gradually fade scars and dark spots.

Ok, boleh beli by loose/ kotak. 1 kotak 10 jenis serum je boleh muat. Boleh pilih 10 out of 15. Kira campur2 la. Qila pilih purifying, scar, tightening, vit C & bsc! Best! Satu botol boleh pakai dalam seminggu. (10 botol = 10 minggu = 2 bulan 2 minggu) Ha gitu.
Cara pakai & simpan serum
Pakai selepas cuci muka, pagi/malam sebelum pakai apa apa krim.
Tuangkan serum di tapak tangan sedikit sahaja (4-5 titis), sapu NIPIS dan urut sehingga serum meresap ke dalam wajah. Untuk kesan yang cepat pakai pada waktu pagi dan malam. Jangan pakai dua jenis serum dalam satu masa.
Dahulukan serum yang merawat masalah jerawat eg:soothing/purifying/tightening.
Untuk parut, hanya pakai di bahagian parut.
Simpan dalam suhu bilik. Jangan masuk peti ais/ terkena cahaya matahari.
Pros: Muka qila tak banyak berubah pun. Ada la jugak jerawat tumbuh bila stress tu tapi kalau letak purifying memang cepat kecut and bila qila terrrrrr picit jerawat tu letak lagi serum tu memang takde scar langsung. Tapi serious best! Lepas raya kalau kaya mmg qila akan beli lagi heeee. Suka sangat2. Purifying memang best! Memang lembab je rasa muka. Tak berminyak tak kering. Pastu serum BSC & VIT C best gila sebab muka qila dah sekata lah jugak sikit ehehe. Sunburn hilang dah sikit yay! Memang best tapiiiiiii
Cons: Cepat sangat expired nya. I mean once you open the botttle, kena habiskan within a week or two. Kalau tak dia akan bussuk and rosak. (but obviously bagus aaaa serum ni sebab takde pengawet gitu kan huhu). So tak puas sikit lah hehe.
*wish to insert more pics but nope bc i forgot nak selfie pre/post exam selfies*
