Cookie! Coookie!! Cooookie!
It's baking season and cookies are so much fun.
Cookie has some kind of history! Go way back to Persia just past 0 AD and before 0 BC in Asia, and you will find the sugar cane sweetness combined with “flour” to create the first cookie.
I have never been able to make a great cookie. It’s probably because I love cookies so much that perfection wasn’t as important as speed. Like making sugar cookies with cookie cutters, it involves chilling the dough for a lengthy time, and that takes too long.
The only cookie I have ever made that everyone liked was a “monster” cookie, consisting of handfuls of M&M’s and Chocolate Chips, lots of margarine and oatmeal. Though I suspect now that people liked them because I brought them out long past the “lunch hour” and everyone was well depleted of the necessary sugars. And with “dinner” off in the horizon, we could finish the shoot without stopping.
Though I have never liked making delicate cookies, I do love eating them. This week I have been making cookies, dozens of them to test recipes and ingredients.
Think measure, mix, bake, ready in minutes and your eating! What I found this week is; Muscovado Sugar for sure adds depth to almost any cookie. Better vanilla makes the cookie better, but not necessarily in pronounced vanilla flavor. Great eggs make great cookies. Almond flour is pretty darn nice as a substitute for wheat flour. This Coconut milk is a good substitute for milk and butter. And real lard is way better than almost any fat I can think of, except when you use butter along with it too.

Get your Candied Fruit here!!
It's never too early to Candy!
Candied fruit, glacé fruit, goes back, way back in time, but not as candy, but as a way to preserve using sugar.
It's pretty simple to do (really hard to get it right), just place fruit or peel of the fruit in warmed sugar for a couple of weeks, magic transforms and drives the moisture out and voilà, preservation. After the right drying process you have a perfect baking addition.
From fruitcake to panettone to panforte, or a good cookie too, candied fruit is food year round, just more so now....
Shop now for Candied Fruit from France!
