Week 6 - 28 cookies done

I've been busy this week though the photo only shows two cookies (Fancy Jumbles & Banana Walnut Squares) but I made a couple more. I made another type of biscotti. It is called Quaresimali which translates as Lentens - so appropriate for this time of year. It is made with hazelnuts, flour, egg whites and a touch of oil. This dough didn't stay together for me - somewhat frustrating so my friend, Rick, suggested I add a bit of water which I did and it made all the difference. I formed the logs, baked them, cooled them, cut them and  and baked them again. They taste great. I love hazelnuts anyway so what's not to like.
I also made the Chocolate Sables dough which is a refrigerator cookie so it is in my refrigerator waiting to be slicing and baked. (I will do that this afternoon.) If these are anything like the French Vanilla Sables we have another real hit on our hands. The dough is made with cocoa and is very dark.
The drop cookies of the week are the Fancy Jumbles. They have currents and walnuts and have a not-too-sweet taste. Definitely an adult cookies. Again, drop cookies are so much fun to mix up and drop them onto the cookie sheets, see them bake and spread a bit and then take them out of the oven.
The bar cookies are the Banana Walnut Squares. The process is akin to making brownies but the results are slightly less thick though these are really nice and moist.
