I. Stewart drove me back to New York yesterday. We made peanut butter cookies with roasted nibs, coconut and sesame seeds. The roasting made for divine crunch and flavor. But the cookies were still too crumbly. And someone thought not peanut buttery enough.
II.Today we went for broke, I planned a dinner for ten at least. 3 people showed, I reduced the menu but still made three kinds of cookies.
1. Yesterday’s peanut butter cookie again with two egg whites instead of one whole egg. Crumbliness overcome!
i. Dropped. Soft.
ii. Rolled into balls, put in the freezer for half an hour, pressed down with a fork. Crunchy.
2a. Egg-less apple sauce molasses coconut cranberry pecan cookies (the Thanksgiving cookie). Delicious.
2b. A variation with chocolate chunks. Different, still delicious.
