Holiday 2023 Cookies
This year, our cookie inspiration came from the New York Times, especially Cookie Week 2023, and the book Fabulous Modern Cookies.
Mango Chutney Thumbprints
This cookie called for “Major Grey” chutney, which I had never heard of before. Wikipedia says it usually has raisins, but none of the ones I found included it. To avoid over-stocking on this condiment, I stopped shopping at three jars.
Smoked Almond and Caramel Cookie Crunch
A sweet-smoky combo in a crumbly shortbread? Mmm, sounds good to me. Unfortunately, these turned out sub-optimally.
Pistachio Pinwheels
This cookie got consumed so fast, I didn’t get a chance to take its portrait. The blend of almond and pistachio in a pleasing swirl was the hands-down winner for me.
Peanut Butter-Miso Cookies (NYT)
On to the third cookie of our holiday baking: this one, a mix of peanut butter and miso. It turned out salty and chewy, but not quite satisfying to me.
