Stone soup cookies
Cookies
My daughter, Rebecca used to ask me to make what she called my “Stone Soup cookies,” her name for the kind of cookies I make when I don’t really follow a recipe and throw into a basic cookie recipe any ingredients that we have on hand. One day I wanted to make cookies and looked around in my kitchen for ingredients and decided to use whatever I had in my pantry: oatmeal, breakfast cereal, nuts, dried fruit, and peanut butter. . This recipe is a great way to use up small amounts of ingredients that you have on hand and it seems that you just can’t go wrong. If you make these cookies, be sure to taste the batter after all ingredients have been added to see if more of anything is needed. I think you’ll find that the dough is so good you have to make yourself stop eating it and leave some to be dropped by big spoonfuls on the cookie sheets. THe version in this photo was made with almond butter, whole wheat pastry flour, dried cherries, chopped dark chocolate, granola and oatmeal, because that is what I had on hand today!
