I’m all about the unique flavor combinations and this cookie falls right in that category. Orange and Walnut? Sure. Orange and Chocolate? A classic. Throw in some sea salt? Hmmm. Now we’re getting a little stranger. Add them all together? Brilliant. Worked out really well and I am pleased with the experiment. Don’t worry, they aren’t all that salty, but the salt does bring out the other flavors. Yum.

I’m often asked if I can “adjust my recipes” for people to make them “gluten free”. Well, unfortunately not. It’s not quite so easy, and because I am not a celiac, I don’t really have a reason to eat GF. I actually have very strong opinions of eating gluten free, but will save those for another day. At any rate, there *are* recipes that are naturally gluten free. This is one of them. Made of cashew butter, eggs, brown sugar, baking soda and chocolate chips, there is no wheat-based flour to be found. They are yummy, but a little on the crumbly side. Nevertheless, a good snack.
I rarely make things that are artificially colored. I just generally don’t like the way that they taste — not to mention how they often look — but every once in a while there are exceptions. Case in point: these Mini-M&M Brownie Bites, all dressed up in Spring and Easter colors. While yes, there is an overload of pastel here, it is the exception in my baking. The brownies are my “from scratch” recipe — no box here — and I painstakingly divided the colors from the mini-M&M packages. Yes, I am insane! 🙂
Did you know that this week has been National Chocolate Chip Cookie Week? No? Well, frankly me neither until a few days ago, but it seemed like a good excuse to make these mini (bite sized) mini-chocolate chip cookies. Pretty standard recipe but always good. And because they are small, they bake up quickly. Enjoy!
