Tonight, in the midst of flustered term paper writing and thesis plotting, Jenny and I decided to bake some wonderful winter cookies. Our housemate Laura had recently received a large shipment of small kiss-shaped chocolates from her parents and wanted us to help her consume them, and Jen and I thought it'd be great to incorporate them into some cute baked good.
We settled on almond butter cookies, and worked off of this recipe: http://aspicyperspective.com/2011/03/almond-butter-chocolate-chunk-cookies.html, with several alterations:
- we halved the recipe because we didn't have enough almond butter, and to compensate for the yield we just made the cookies smaller and more adorable
- instead of chocolate in chopped form, we settled on a kiss on top of each bite-size cookie
- we reduced baking time to 9 minutes instead of 12 because a) the cookies were smaller, b) our oven has no mercy, and c) we like 'em gooey.
The batter was incredible, and the cookies followed suit. I usually don't like to mix my savory and sweet, but the salty kick in these pastries is really unique and pleasant.
