I know a lot of people won’t agree, but food has always been a favorite of mine to give and receive during the Christmas season. I definitely see food as the 6th love language and nothing says “I’m thinking of you” like getting someone something yummy that you thought they’d like. And with so many options now, it can be difficult to find the perfect one.
Enter The Rustic Nook. A newcomer to the field in a way, but the owner has been whipping up great-tasting and wonderful-looking food for some time now. And we are so lucky that she’s opening the doors of her home kitchen to give us a taste of the recipe she’s perfected.
From the moment you receive it (only through Grab delivery or Lalamove, as of now), you know you’re in for something special. The packaging is absolutely beautiful and clearly suited for gifting. You probably won’t even want to open it.
Once you do, you’ll find these hefty palm-sized cookies, with chocolate chunks generously sprinkled all throughout. You can also see the coarse granules of salt, sure to balance the sweetness to make a wonderful harmony. I usually microwave my cookies that aren’t freshly baked anymore, but these didn’t need that. They were amazingly soft but still chewy and the taste of the batter was just right, complemented by the bittersweet flavor of the dark chocolate chunks. The best part, though, was the hint of rhum throughout the cookie. It tickled my taste buds and definitely made it stand out from the many cookies getting popular nowadays.
At Php550 for a pack of 6 huge cookies, I think they’re seriously a steal for how good they taste, especially compared to the other commercially available cookies out there that are just as big but fall flat in flavor. The only downside for me is how pricey the delivery can be, as it’s based in the Las Piñas area.
I still absolutely recommend trying it! This is the kind of gift that, once you receive it, you’ll know for sure that the gift giver loves you A LOT. Because I don’t think I could part with even one cookie after tasting it.
