The night before I came home from a latke party, and made cocnut cookies, and world peace cookie dough. Saturday morning, we slept in a bit, because it was still snowing, then we shoveled out the driveway &amp; front walk. I made the dough for the <a href=\"hhttps:\/\/get.google.com\/albumarchive\/112010627128321103911\/album\/AF1QipMtou7AkERnUdD3VZs0W50CM-JOG0GuqFlHFs15\">Moravian ginger thins<\/a> &#8211; they&#8217;re in the front, star shapes, in this shot from last year. Then I tried an experiment, mint chocolate chip cookies, from a recipe I found online, that I liked because it used up two things I had in the freezer &#8211; 2 bags each of mint chocolate chips, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingarthurflour.com\/\">King Arthur Flour Co.<\/a> sugar cookie mix (that they sent me as freebie for spending <em>beaucoup<\/em> bucks with them). I decided to tint them green, per the recipe, to tip off any unsuspecting cookie eater who might think it was a non-mint chocolate chip cookie. I think they have potential &#8211; I might try them next year with a from-scratch drop sugar cookie dough, and the mint chips. They&#8217;ll probably be someone&#8217;s favorite cookie.<\/p>\n<p>Then I went out for errands and presumably a swim &#8211; that I never got to. When I got home, I baked a bunch of the almond paste types: pine-nut macaroons, and another new one this year, an almond cookie with chocolate stars glued on top. All from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odense.com\/index.php?page=recipes_by_product&amp;id=702\">Odense marzipan site<\/a> &#8211; I was tired of the Gourmet <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Pignoli-Cookies-107447\">pignoli cookie recipe<\/a> I&#8217;d been using; they&#8217;re too pale. These, from the presumable marzipan experts, are more what I like in a macroon &#8211; golden brown. And I think the chocolate star almond cookies are a keeper, too &#8211; even though I ran out of stars.<\/p>\n<p>I finished the night by baking Dorie Greenspan&#8217;s world peace cookies, and making the dough for Mark&#8217;s rolled ginger &#8211; that I hope to bake today.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I shouldn&#8217;t feel too bad about underachieving &#8211; besides shoveling, I did a load of laundry, folded all the clean stuff, and made a pan of mac &amp; cheese for dinner. Oh yeah, and paid bills and answered a few student questions in my online course. Today, I gave the cats fresh newspaper under their litter, baked a coffee cake, and now I&#8217;m off I hope to that swim (or maybe a walk), followed by rolled ginger, ginger thins, a bunch of bar cookies, and spritz &#8211; I hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not quite sure what happened yesterday &#8211; I had big cookie plans that I did not quite achieve.
