![]() ![]() Yup – the lady with the hair and the franchise! Perfect. I searched through all of my recipe books, and you won’t believe where I found it. I called the bakery for the recipe and they gave me some bullshit reply like, “Oh, it has almonds, sugar, and egg whites in it.” What the hell kind of recipe is that?! Ever the baker, it wasn’t long before I began to think, “Why the am I paying $1.50 for a cookie when I could make this myself?” As graduate students, we were just above the poverty line. They had these delightful almond crescent cookies half-dipped in dark chocolate that I would sometimes get for Jeremy on our mile walk home. I gauged that a cookie could last me another hour of work, a bagel was good for 3 hours. I spent many a morning, afternoon, evening, and night walking over to grab sustenance. During my stint in Ithaca, New York, there was a bakery across the gorge from the geology department. And pistachios… and pine nuts… It really does rank up there for me. So it was only a few posts back that I was raving about almond extract. Uh, the raffle ticket is the definite no brainer. Or you could pay considerably more $ for a straight purchase or persevere years of medical training and slice me open like my surgeon to get one. Just think, you could pay $10 for a raffle ticket to get a print of this image which was featured on the NPR website: See, you have a good chance of winning this prize from me if you bid on UC01. Thankfully, my prize is not listed under Great Chances, but under Good Chances. Pim has neatly organized the prizes according to your statistical chances of winning if you should bid (and you should bid!). If you haven’t skidaddled yourself over there to bid on some prizes, please consider doing so now (and then come back to my post). I had to wait until I was fully well enough to 1) bake and 2) not make everything all nasty and sick because that would be a really unkind token of appreciation.īut wait! It is Teh Last Day of the Menu for Hope IV fundraising campaign. I really enjoy holiday baking except when I have surgery and then a head cold right before the holidays. Anyway, you get another cookie recipe today because I made a veritable boat load of cookies yesterday. You can store these cookies at room temperature for the week.Whenever I read the word doing I think of it as doing – as in sounds like boing. Let cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
