Wax and I were discussing cookies because after finding this photo online a few weeks ago, I've been determined to recreate the cookies pictured and find out if they're truly as awesome as they look. They're cooling right now, so the results of that experiment will be in later. But meanwhile, I posted on Twitter just now that my top cookie recipes are:
- Classic Toll House cookies with plain m&ms or chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips
- Green Tea Shortbread
- Boiled Cookies
- Lemon Tea Cookies (these are called that because they are intended for eating with tea, not because they're made with tea like the green tea shortbreads above)
- Brown Sugar Nut Kisses
- Peanut Butter & Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Now, Wax has never even had lemon tea cookies because I've never gotten the recipe from my mother. Hopefully I'll have it soon. The last entry are really peanut butter cookies with a bit of oats and chocolate thrown in, but when made small they're an utterly delicious can't-stop-eating-them cookie. Wax and I only discovered them this year, and I've had to not make them as often as we'd like because one tends to eat them until feeling faintly nauseated.
I think this list isn't entirely complete without a coconut cookie recipe on it, but the problem is that I've never found the perfect coconut cookie recipe. Maybe I'll start searching for it soon. Anyway.
