Teens can burn more than $50 easily at the mall in less than 2 hours! Instead of running around spending on unnecessary things to entertain themselves on a Friday night (or who knows where they hang out), we feel that spending quality time at home with great friends and a freaky scary movie is more appropriate.
Tonight, we have teen bakers - Chef H and our regular JD (our sous chef for the cheesecake) helped us mess up our kitchen as we taught Chef H on how to make cookies (yeah - - he created this on his own) . The result? Cake like texture, not too sweet for the figure conscious and crunchy at the bottom that you will enjoy....
