It was our monthly tests week, if I remember it correctly. Alexis (my blockmate) and I wanted to go to a place where we could study and eat so we roamed around Dapitan and found Moonleaf! I was surprised that Moonleaf carried The Cookie Jar macarons, so I tried some- no hesitations needed!
Cute box:)
I ordered 5. Pistachio, (???), Chocolate, Red Velvet and Peppermint (?)
CHOCOLATE
RED VELVET
PEPPERMINT (?)
(I'm not sure about the flavor)
PISTACHIO
And their holiday macaron? (Sorry I really forgot.)
I didn't like their macarons that much because it was sort of tough to eat, it wasn't as delicate or soft as it should be.. but Alexis liked it so much. Hmm.

KATHLEEN'S MACARON CRITERIA:
Shell 5/10
It should be smooth and delicate, slightly crispy but not crunchy- fragile like eggshells, it should also be somehow flat and not dome-shaped with no air bubbles nor air pockets. Technically, excessive coloring is a no-no. (Too crunchy)
Filling & Flavor 6/10
F&F should be smooth, light and distinctly flavorful. It shouldn't be too sweet or sour as well. Melt in the mouth texture is also a plus!
Aesthetics 6/10
Shape and size of the macaron, feet and filling ratio
Value 6/10
We all know that macarons aren't easy to do, (and maybe there are even more guidelines that I've yet to read about) so you're technically paying for the labor of the macaron maker. Accept it, pay, then judge if it was worth the money you paid with.
