Since my previous attempt to make Will Shetterly’s Finest-Kind cookies<\/a> met with such great approval<\/a>, I thought I’d give it another shot.<\/p>\n

Having done it once, I had to tweak the recipe a bit. Here’s the latest incarnation:<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup butter (reduced from 3\/4)
\n 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
\n 1\/2 cup honey
\n 1 egg
\n 1\/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (replacing apple juice, some butter)
\n 1 tsp. vanilla
\n 3 cups uncooked rolled oats
\n 1 cup white whole wheat flour (change from regular)
\n 1 tsp. salt
\n 1\/2 tsp. soda
\n 1 tsp. cinnamon (up from 1\/2)
\n 1\/4 tsp. nutmeg
\n 1\/8 tsp. cloves (added)
\n 3\/4 c semi-sweet chocolate chips (reduced a bit)
\n 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted (modification)
\n 1\/2 c cocoa nibs<\/a> (addition)<\/p>\n

Do the usual cookie thing with them, or see the link above for the full directions. These were “clean out the cupboard” cookies, so I used all the almonds, all the oatmeal, all the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

I didn’t soften the butter because the microwave is full of wool. (Go on, act surprised), but it’s better if you do. And I highly recommend not getting honey in the laptop. I didn’t, but it was close.<\/p>\n

Verdict: The flavor is good – the cocoa nibs are an excellent addition to this not-too-sweet cookie. I shouldn’t have messed with the butter, though. The first batch, formed into balls, did not flatten and came out rather cakey. The remaining cookies I flattened before baking, but do not have good adhesion. <\/p>\n

Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n

Morgan hasn’t weighed in yet, but Nick likes them.<\/p>\n
