Missed another recipe – no Pistachio Pear Tart from last week. I have missed more recipes in the last two months than in did in over 18 months. Ahhh…well…such is life. But, I am back for month o’ nuts (as I have dubbed December). We had the pistachio pear tart and have the oh so nutty cafe volcano cookies and the can’t-make-a-sub-for-nuts pecan pie to look forward to. I know some of you are salivating but…
I was relieved to have a break from the nuts. No chance of pecan sables around here. I made lime and orange. I used the zest of one fruit for each half of batch of dough. Frankly, I was hoping for a little more citrus taste but thought they were equally good. Would have been better dipped in chocolate, natch.
These didn’t blow me away but I am not just a butter cookie lover or a taste of butter lover. All of my life I wondered who really ate the cookies in those blue tins. I join this group and discover lots of you were. Live and learn.
So, thanks to Bungalow Barbara for choosing an easy and nut free cookie. I will say several got disposed of quickly around here. Someone likes the butter cookies…
Next week: Cafe Volcano Cookies. I have -surprise- already made these. Early reports were troubling, but I am seeking additional opinions.
