I am glad that someone finally found the kind of cookie he prefers not so sweet but rich in flavor, a bit of crispy outside but soft and chewy inside..

Cottony and velvety Brazo De Mercedes

There are saying that the making of Brazo de Mercedes started as early as the Spanish colonization in the Philippines. The delicacy was believed to be a bright idea to make out of discarded yolks as egg whites were then used as plaster in building churches. The Filipinos, who didn’t want to waste the precious egg yolks, decided to come up with a dessert they eventually called Brazo de Mercedes. ctto

Brazo de Mercedes consists of a sheet of fluffy meringue that's filled with custard. The custard ingredients usually include egg yolks, vanilla, condensed milk, and lime or lemon zest, while the meringue is made with egg whites, cream of tartar, and sugar.ctto

Ensaymada - The very first recorded ensaimada can be traced back to the 17th century. A delicacy of Mallorca, Spain, it was the type of bread that was baked only for special occasions. The dough,made of flour, water, sugar, eggs, and a starter, was coiled and slathered with lard, which was called saim, hence the name. This original ensaimada, which continues to be made today, is much wider and flatter than what Filipinos are used to—almost resembling a pie in shape and size—and with flaky layers that are distinct to the Spanish tradition.

The Philippines, which was a colony of Spain for over 300 years, inherited the ensaimada
tradition. Though the initial versions were the same as the ones from Mallorca, Filipinos
eventually made it their own. Even the spelling has been transformed to become the less formal-sounding ensaymada.

The addition of butter (a deviation from the traditional lard) and cheese can be attributed to the 1930s when Doña Maria Paz (Pacita) Zamora de Mascuñana included them in a recipe for her cookbook.(ifexconnect.com)

Carrot Cake - Believe it or not, carrots have been used in place of sugar for centuries! Sweeteners were often scarce or expensive, so people had to get creative with what they had at home. Since carrots are one of the sweetest and most accessible veggies out there, the use of carrots as natural sweeteners only made sense.

The practice of using carrots in desserts started in medieval times. Cooks would make a type of “pudding” with boiled carrots, spices, flour and eggs. Once ovens were more readily available, it became much more popular to bake desserts instead of boiling or steaming them. Adding more flour and fat to the mix is what eventually gave carrot cake that lighter, fluffier texture we all know and love today . (hersheyland.com)
