cookies I actually like better baked
Mar. 1st, 2012 10:42 amI have always been a raw-cookie dough kind of girl, so I was quite surprised when I ate one of last night's cookies today to discover that I actually like these better baked! It probably has to do with the way the flavours melded in the oven.
( Seedy Apple-Nut cookies )
Those of you paying attention at home will note that I don't have much sugar in these. I normally use less sugar than other folk do when baking, but this batch has even less. The reason for that is that my brown sugar had solidified into a barely breakable lump, and I had only the patience to break off that much to be run through the food processor before getting bored and moving on to the next step. However, I find that these are perfect as they are--the hint of apple flavour brings nicely compliments the barest hint of sweetness from the sugar, and goes well with the nuts and seeds and grains used.
