Urgh, I really don't know how to start this, it's just embarrassing, seeing yourself on TV? HAHA! After 19 years of living in this world, now I only I know how fat I look whenever I talk to people. You can actually see everything on camera, those flaws, imperfections!
Nevertheless, here it is! Our journey with MYEG Make The Pitch eventually ended on our 2nd pitch. It was tough answering those investors' questions, really! However, we are still imbued with the eagerness to learn more and also bringing 'A-Fookies !' to the next level! It was quite an experience for us, anybody with entrepreneurial flairs should really commit on being a participant. You can participate in the 2nd season here, www.myeg.com.my/makethepitch.

Hey everyone! Well I think everybody knows what a cookie is, nearly most of the world's population would come across at least a piece of cookie on the kitchen table HAHA! Cookies can be broken down into finer details, there are many more kinds of cookies that ever created or invented in this world. Here we would like to share something very interesting with you COOKIE MONSTERS! ( We love our cookie monsters, truly, you guys are the best! Thank you so much everyone!!!).
7 Fun Facts About Cookies!

1) Biscotti cookies are famous around the world! You can find them anywhere at your nearby general stores. They are best enjoyed with a hot or warm cup of tea and they also have varieties and flavours! But did you know that biscotti cookies are baked twice? They are called as 'cantuccini' in several areas. So if you're in Italy, Prato where biscotti is originated from, and you're craving for biscottis, make sure you say cantuccinis instead of biscottis! :D
Ruth Graves Wakefield
2) Out of the vast varieties of cookies in the United States, Chocolate Chip Cookies are the most popular among all. (If you ask us, 'A-Fookies !', it would be Caramel Pudding Cookies and also Oreo Pudeo!). Did you know that chocolate chip cookies were made by accident? A very big thank you from all the people across the world to Ruth Graves Wakefield (check out this grandma, she's kinda hot though HAHA...when she was young), who experimented her dough in 1933 to replace nuts with chocolate chips! She then set up her business named Toll House which was actually an inn previously and remained the number one pioneer in cookie making and morsels till now!
The Persians (King Darius, centre)
3) Did you know that cookies are actually firstly originated from Persia which was made around in 7 A.D. I'm not sure whether you Cookie Monsters ever heard of cookie bars before but these cookies made by the Persians should somehow look like that though they are actually more known as cookie cakes!
4) Have you ever watched the movie, 'Shrek' before? Remember that Gingerman who puked chocolate chips? HAHA! Gingerbread cookies from Germany were the first cookies ever associated with Christmas around the world. Strange, and we thought that they were associated in America!
A fortune cookie!
5) Who says those fortune cookies from Chinatown in America were originated from the Chinese? These are just movies influences! They are associated with the Japanese, basing the recipe with the traditional Japanese's cracker. Generally, they are made by the Japanese, popularized by the Chinese and consumed by the Americans!
6)Well they say that you will consume about 35,000 pieces of cookies in your lifetime, but with 'A-Fookies!', you'll consume MORE! Uncountable, that is! :D
This is somehow scary...still
7) Aaahh...Sesame Street, childhood times, *reminiscing*...okay stop. That Cookie Monster from Sesame Street who sounded like someone who can't even sing at all was originally named Sid!
Well do spread this to your friends! Let everybody know about this! You are not a Cookie Monster if you don't know any of these 7 fun facts about cookies! :P
Okay it's not that as if we were to compare ours and theirs (though we actually did HEHE) but it sure looks like everyone has been looking forward to know more about their recipe, so we did a bit of a research and we found this, a quite entrusted link for their mulit-million dollar secret recipe. Not sure whether it is real or fake thought it sure seems like a joke to us HAHA. As we all know, their cookies taste GREAT. Like seriously, everyone loves Famous Amos, especially when you walked past by their kiosk, you'll feel tempted to go and buy their cookies right away! Still, they have one disadvantage, their cookies are a bit too sweet. It depends on people's preferences, really. We make cookies that are satisfying to all of the consumers taking notes of their texture, sweetness and taste and we are glad that people have been complimenting, saying that ours came to their liking, thank you guys!!! So enough said, here's the link, Famous Amos' Secret Recipe. Enjoy!
YUP! Just like how the title says there, nothing hype about it if you do everything correctly! Some of the tips that will be given here might be common, you guys might have heard it before, and some are just plain rare, that you know you'll have to jot them down. We can guarantee that, if you use these tips, for any recipe, (that makes cookies of course, also, cookie bars) , we assure you, they'll taste superb! And make sure to share this with your friends! :).
The oven's temperature plays a big role in determining your baking
results. You would either get your cookies crispy, crunchy or chunky,
based on the temperature used. Not many people know about this since
they thought that ingredients are the bulging factors for that perfect
cookie!
Each point of temperature used produce different results. Two main things that you've got to remember,
1) The lower the temperature, the slower your cookies will get cooked, the crispier/crunchier they will be.
2) The higher the temperature, the faster your cookies will get cooked, the chunkier they will be.
It
would be your choice on how you want them to be. Some people would
prefer the crispier versions, and some, vice versa. If you ask us, it
depends on our customers since we take special requests!
We're
not saying that you should go as lowest as you can, or as high as you
can to get your preferred results, instead, you should try and
experiment with different temperatures for each batch of cookies you
bake. There is always a perfect temperature point for each recipe that
you use. Our best advice? Experiment!
Also, every oven
is designed differently but they have this same function where you can
set your thermal fan to focus at the middle part of the oven, lower, or
upper. It is always a good thing to focus it at the middle since heat
will be transferred evenly throughout the middle part. So where do you
from here? Place your trays of cookie dough at the middle so that they
will be cooked evenly. Always check and shift your trays as well.
