![]() ![]() Anyway, the Mel hot take made me really double down on the marriage between chocolate and peanut butter, what with it being a SACRED institution and all. So color me surprised when I found myself taking this Mel blog about how chocolate and peanut butter are a bad combination, like, way too personally (I chalk my overreaction up to election stress, okay?). when people get mad about subjective opinions as if one person’s dislike of a favorite food someone how negates the other person’s right to like it. write subjective opinions as objective truths (e.g., “ Is Bad and if You Like It, You’re Wrong”) and B. Peanut butter swirled brownies: One of the funniest things to me is when people A. Maybe it’s the malt and the extra fat, but the result is very tender and enjoyably squidgy. The tahini blondies are adapted from Edd Kimber’s tahini chocolate chip cookie bar recipe in The Boy Who Bakes I added an extra egg and more butter to them, as well as malt powder and white chocolate chips. I chose Liz Prueitt’s brownie recipe from Tartine All Day because a) they’re always a hit and b) they’re gluten-free (they use sorghum flour), which means most people will eat them. postal system, and also tend to stay fresh for quite some time. Tartine All Day brownies and Edd Kimber’s tahini chocolate chip bars: I chose these because of the relative indestructibility of brownies and blondies they’re sturdy enough to stand up to the slings and arrows of the U.S. Admittedly, I knew going in that the powdered sugar topping would likely take a beating in the mail - and it definitely did, losing a lot of the crinkle effect - but this is the one cookie recipe I will commit to time and time again. But these crinkles have become a go-to because they’re naturally dairy-free, don’t require a mixer for the dough, and the beautiful crinkling on top looks impressive despite being easy to create. As executive editor Matt Buchanan says, “What I’ve learned from this serendipitous experience is that baking cookies is incredibly easy, even without an electrical mixing apparatus of any kind, so anyone can do it, and that I never will again.”Ĭhocolate crinkle cookies: My husband is dairy-free, which tends to limit the cookies we’re able to make: Often, all-vegan recipes will require ingredients I don’t have on hand (I’m lookin’ at you, applesauce) and adapted-to-dairy-free recipes usually fail to work out for me (enter a tragic, time-consuming batch of snickerdoodles that came out hard as rocks). Even if you’re not normally a baker, many of these recipes are simple enough to pull off. ![]() Below, the Eater editors and writers who participated share why they chose the cookie recipes they did. The TL DR is that no one type of cookie performed better than another - the key is to keep the cookies packed tight and well padded.

After the contortions of modified and shrunk-down Thanksgivings, it’s exciting to bake something meant for sharing. Then, using a pastry bag or zip-top bag, pipe the cookies with the white icing to decorate.It’s cookie season, and it couldn’t have come soon enough. Remove the cookies from the oven to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Make sure that it is thick and somewhat retains its shape. Bake in 2 batches if you don't reroll the scraps.įor the decorative white icing: While the cookies are baking, mix the powdered sugar, milk and egg whites. The cookies will be slightly puffed and the glaze will look crackled. Paint the cookies (with a soft brush) with the egg yolk glaze.īake the cookies for 6 to 7 minutes. While the dough is chilling, combine the egg yolk, 1 teaspoon water and food coloring. Transfer the shapes to lightly greased cookie sheets and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.įor the egg yolk glaze: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the dough 1/4-inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter. Divide the dough in half (thirds if you double your recipe), slightly flatten between 2 sheets of waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour (or freeze for 20 minutes). Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, and then blend into the cream mixture. Add in the egg and beat until light and fluffy, about 1 more minute.
