Tomorrow came and went but we didn’t try to experiment with the almond cookie. Instead we worked outside cleaning out the landscaping, removing weeds from the cracks in the sidewalk and cleaning in general.
Today Taylor asked if she could start with the cookie experiment so we started baking. Taylor did all of the baking while I suggested proportions. We baked some with less butter which were better, then more butter and more meal which were a horrible mess, then less butter and more egg, too runny. As I looked at this runny cookie dough I realized exactly what it needed, more meal. I added enough until it was the consistency that looked and felt right.
Taylor put the last recipe’s batch in the oven and when she took it out she was so excited. The cookies looked perfect. When they cooled we tasted them and they were so good; moist inside, browned outside. We hit on the perfect Almond Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Next weekend we will tweak the recipe once more then decide which we like the best. We will maybe make enough for Nate to start selling at the Farmers Markets, if Nate likes them that is. This could be a great little business for Taylor for the summer. We will ship the cookies next week to various people to see how they ship. This will give us a good idea whether we should try to sell them online too.
Also next weekend Sunny will start her experimenting with bars or a different type of cookie.
Sorry but we can’t post the final recipe. We will want to market the cookies so the recipe must go into a safe deposit box for now. We can only tempt you.
