You baked me some cookies a birthday or two ago. They made the trip from Chicago to NYC, and as you stated, they traveled quite well. Unfazed by the 1000 or so mile journey. Some were crispy, some were chewy, all were yummy, some were gooey...or something like that.
You made me a variety of cookies and as always I looked most forward to the chocolate chips. But, as you may recall I called you to tell you, much to my surprise, the cookie that absolutely stole the show was this week's special guest. These Almond Cookies were amazing. Light and dense all at once. Chrisp yet moist and chewy. Soooo good. I remember saying to you how I love anything with almond paste. And was shocked when you told me..."no almond paste". But they had a macaroon vibe going on!! That's when you informed me of almond powder. Who knew? Anywho...I'm turning 60 in November. Right in the heart of your baking marathon. So...ya know...I was thinkin'...you could bake and box me up a few dozen of these babies. Show your readers how nicely they package and ship. It would be a win, win, win. For you, your readers and me...mostly me...
Another fabulous recipe, Jolene! I agree with your friend about the baking marathon en route to the holidays. I'll definitely be baking along with you. This reminds me of a recipe my mother made and that I make at the holidays. She used almond paste and put a cherry or blanched almond in the middle. Can't wait to try this version!
