Back to trying out one of my rather unusual flavor combinations, this time in the form of finely chopped apricots, the herb taragon (which has a rather licoricey flavor) and olive oil. They are really very good, despite my weird pairings. Would go equally nice with a cup of coffee or tea, or on a cheese plate with some fig jam. Really quite delightful, especially if you aren’t into the overly sweet type of cookie.
Yesterday it was freezing here in greater Boston. I mean *cold cold cold*. I couldn’t even get my apartment to warm up too much, until I decided to bake something. I didn’t have a lot of “spare” ingredients in the pantry either. I did have a bag of these chocolate melting wafers, that I decided to use as giant chocolate chips. Turns out, pretty yummy cookies and a warm flat. Win win, if you ask me.
What do you get when you combine a brownie and a cookie? Well, you get this cool love-child of a thing called a Brookie. If you make them as bars (vs in cookie shape), you get Brookie Bars. And what happens if you happen to throw in a bag of cinnamon chips? Well, you get these absolutely delicious Cinnamon Chip Brookie Bars! As you can see, the “January Health Kick” didn’t last very long. LOL
