Foto Friday: more cookies, less ranting. 20 November 2009 12:08 pm
Posted by Tracy in : baking,books,cookies,dessert,food as spectator sport,food snobbery,fun,winter squash , trackbackSo yesterday I thought about going out to do some responsible stuff before my 7 PM yoga class, but decided that I would be happier staying at home to restock our supply of delicious instant food. End result bragged to Facebook and Twitter last night:
Final score for Afternoon O’Domesticity: 1 big pot dal, 1 batch punkin spice cookies, 1 pan cornbread, and many dishes done… priceless.
The dal was an extra-spicy version of the recipe I made up out of Nepal nostalgia, and the cornbread and pumpkin cookies are both from my beloved Moosewood New Classics. It’s actually my second batch of these cookies in a week; the first was last Friday, when I decided it was time to use up the leftover canned pumpkin from our Halloween winter squash-stravaganza — only then of course I ended up opening another can of pumpkin, so I was still left with a partial can in the fridge, like when I started, only with more delicious, delicious cookies. Check them out!
Punkin cookies
The ones on top of the toaster oven are plain, made to test the spice levels in the batter (which I increased and expanded from Moosewood’s recommendations, and that turned out well enough that I did it again yesterday night). The ones on the bigger cooling racks have walnuts (Moosewood recommended peanuts, which I didn’t have and which made me suspicious anyway, since I am fussy about combining peanuts with other flavors) and raisins, and these:

…these have chocolate chips, which turned out to be a little overkill for my taste, but only a little. Anyway. Mmmm, cookies. Between these and the dal, I should not starve this weekend, but I should probably get some delicious green veggies in me soon. Yay!
