Double chocolate cookies + oats and wholemeal.

Andrew and I decided to make some cookies to snack on at work. We got a Betty Crocker pre-mix, but it was just too absurdly sweet even for the self professed sweet tooth that I am. So to make it a little healthier, we added less oil, more water, and HEAPS of oats and wholemeal!

Oddly, but I suppose we had it coming because it turned out looking like crap. I mean really crap, like I scooped up horse manure and put it on a tray.

Horse Manure

But despite how it looks, you have to believe me when I say it smells HEAVENLY. The rich chocolate aroma filled the whole house. Kinda like walking past Famous Amos. And it does taste amazing. We used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, and it gives off that coconut-y flavour as you bite onto it. Still a tad overly sweet, but ay, its a cookie!

delish!

Its really really filling because its dense with oats and wholemeal. Eat one of this and you'll be satiated for the rest of the day. Unless you're like my boyfriend who's got an endless pit for a stomach, then I can't speak for you.

SUPPLIES SURPRISE 2!

MY HAUL

Like a 5 year old kid got let loose in a candy shop. I WENT NUTS. Bouncing off the walls, checking every shop and scrutinizing all their wares. I am ever so glad my mom was there to accompany me, or else I'd never be able to leave! The people there were really nice, I might be stereotyping here but  crafters seem like really happy people. I suppose its that inner peace you get when your work is your fun and love. I know two 30 year old artists who I swear look under 18, and I still can't believe it. 

So I think I blew about RM150 here. Although I wish I brought more money :< it would have been worth it. Now I just can't wait for the weekends and my leave to get approved! Just want to hole myself up in my room and get crafting!

Supplies Surprise 2 was held at Bfree, Dataran Mentari, a few weeks ago. The third event is in the works, possibly after the next 3 months. Make it for the next one! :D
