As I was going to leave Nate’s last Sunday night he asked if I’d like some Almond Butter to experiment with. Of course I said sure.
I gave this quite a bit of thought and remembered as a kid I would make Peanut Butter Cookies for a boy in my class. I was probably about 12 years old at when I made these cookies for the boy, he was just a friend but loved them and as I loved to bake by that age I would make them for him. I also won a 1st prize for the cookies sometime around then for some little contest in the neighborhood where I lived.
Yesterday I thought that I’d get in gear and start making some cookies. My friend Dolly was coming over so this was a good time to experiment anyway. I made some cookies using my recipe as a base then decided to make some Almond Butter cookies that I could eat. As I was baking them I thought that it would be fun to do a taste test comparison between the gluten free and those using the traditional recipe. Dolly is passing out cookies from each batch to see what people like, if they can tell the difference.
Nate had called and said he would be by tonight so I thought I’d make some traditional style for him to take as well. By 11pm when I finally had mixed the cookies I realized that I’d not used wheat flour but rather almond meal. I was so upset but then the thought passed my mind that sometimes good things come from mistakes. I looked around to see what I could add to my mistake and saw some chocolate chips. I added the chips, threw the cookies in the oven and out came some of the best cookies I’ve ever had, if I must say so myself.
Now we are on to something!
