Last year I made Rosemary-Kissed Orange-Thumbprint cookies from a magazine recipe that a friend gave me by the pool one day. They were FANTASTIC--although I did not use the almond extract at the time because I thought I was still allergic to nuts. I am over that now thank God!!! I must have been reacting to something at one point though. Even my almond massage lotion would make me react. I may have lost the recipe, but was able to Google search and find it again! Click the link below to experience one of the best cookies I've ever had (I was the fat kid so that's high praise by the way).
Rosemary-Kissed Orange-Thumbprint Cookies
I experimented with agave and cookies last night--they taste great but do not end up crispy/chewy--more cakey than anything. I think that agave would best be substituted in those large cakey cookies with frosting--like the pumpkin cookies or the black and white ones. I was in need of some serious chocolate a couple weeks ago, I made a box mix of Ghiradeli brownies with grapeseed oil and they were indeed perfectly chewy and crusty--which is what I look for in a brownie. A little hard to get out of my glass Pyrex pan in the beginning I have to say. But it lasted my boyfriend and I two weeks because we didn't share!
My next experiment will be to make cookies with grapeseed oil. I'm probably going to start with 1/2 butter 1/2 grapeseed oil to begin with. Or if anyone has any good cookie recipes that use Canola oil??? I had some Canola cookies at Whole Foods that were bangin' and I'm sure it can be done! And in case anyone ever actually reads this, grapeseed oil makes very nice cake/cupcakes as well!!! Light and fluffy!
