One of my contractors is really into cookies. So hoping that they would have an incentive to do even better work, I thought I bake a few. I have a really hard time following written recipes mostly because I think I can eyeball things and not have to measure accurately or substitute.
For Dorie's Peace Cookies (I've been intrigued by these cookies since seeing them on Tastespotting last year), I was meticulous about following the recipe to a T. The results were surprising in that the cookies had more of a European feel in size and texture. This was a grown-up chocolate cookie. I used a Scharffenberger chocolate bar and the cookie was outrageous.
The next cookie was the granola cookie. More my style: I didn't have real granola so I threw in the Post Grape Nuts Granola cereal, sunflower seeds i/o almonds, raisins (drenched in rum) yum!
