Whether you celebrate the longest night or not
Joyous Solstice!
I'm not ready for the holidays, but I'm certainly ready for the days to start getting longer again.In cookie news, I've tried a new recipe that worked really well:
1 cup cashew butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
a few shakes of cayenne (or more or less to taste)
Ghiradelli chocolate bits
Mix the first four ingredients until well blended in a bowl. Form into teaspoon-sized balls, place on a cookie sheet, and press a chocolate bit (or two) into the center of each one. Cook until slightly browner in a 350 degree oven (approx. 8 minutes).
Yum! Now I just need a name for them.
I also made magic cookie bars (the recipe on the Eagle condensed milk) I put the ingredients on the magic cookie bars in the wrong order, and they separated vertically, which isn't particularly good for the taste. (I'm using smashed Rice Chex instead of graham cracker crumbs or cornflake crumbs, the two traditional possibilities for the bottom layer). But they're still good.
Other cookie experiments, assuming I have time to make them, will be shared later.
