A few weeks ago, I made these Really Big Chocolate Wafer Mega-Cookies and they were really yummy. Precisely because they were actually really big. It gave them both chewy and crunchy bits. So I decided to make a variation on those, with somewhat traditional white chocolate and macadamia nuts. Equally as delicious as the original. This recipe makes about 35-38 really big cookies — like the size of my hand. And don’t skip the chilling part; it really makes the cookie what it is!

It’s been a while since I did one of my “stranger” flavor combination type cookies so I felt inspired to combine dried apricots, pistachios and chocolate. For some reason, it seems like a bit of a Middle Eastern combo to me, but I don’t really know why. At any rate, these shortbread cookies definitely deliver on taste. Not too sweet but very flavorful!
Today is of course Pi Day in the US…. yes, we silly people who put month, then day, so … 3.14 aka Pie Day. Just to be silly, I did make a pie. Hasselback-Style Pear and Walnut Tart… OK, I guess it’s a Tart not a Pie. Oh well. It doesn’t look might much because the custard drowned the hasselback-style pears, but it still tastes good.
Now that I have started the “Bread in a Dutch Oven” method for making bread, I have decided to branch out and do something besides a plain old white bread boule. I decided to make this Cranberry Walnut and Honey loaf. Again the dough is a little gooey, but it turned out alright at the end. I think the next time, I’ll add a little cinnamon.
