I just read this essay in the NYT this morning, and it reminded me of your experience, albeit with a somewhat different suburban edge. This is the first time I’ve heard of this author, but I was imagining how the differences and similarities in your experiences might make for a fascinating podcast discussion between the two of you about the rural West, place, home…
We made the cookies today! They were delicious!! Although my daughter thought they should still have chocolate chips - plus the lemon zest and nutmeg :) we can give it a try :) They came a little flat out of the oven - are they supposed to be? Or should they be more puffy? Thank you for sharing!
Zachary, I'm so sorry I missed this! Thanks for trying it out! Mine were super rounded and didn't spread at all. Curious! I'll have to experiment a bit and report back... You could try slightly less sugar / fat or slightly more flour?
Interesting! Clearly an error on my part perhaps! I will make another batch and we will see - maybe yes a little more flour / less sugar might do the trick! Keep me posted :)
