this recipe sings to the very core of my heart. i am going to rush home from work immediately and try it.
(postscript: yes, i posted a recipe i have yet to try. but i am just that confident that it will be outstanding, so i am not worried).
ingredients
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 stick unsalted butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 c. whole milk
1 tsp. almond extract
2 tsp. lemon zest
1/2 chopped almonds, toasted
1 c. blueberries
method
sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. in separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar. add egg yolk and incorporate. then add milk, almond extract and lemon zest.
stir dry ingredients into wet, a half-cup at a time. fold in almonds, then blueberries.
chill dough in fridge for 30 minutes
while dough chills, preheat oven to 375. drop cookie batter onto ungreased sheets. bake for 15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
postscript
i baked these cookies, as i had mentioned i would, as soon as i got home from work. my lovely friend emma joined me. she kindly informed me of a typographical error i had made, writing the recipe called for 1/2 chopped onions instead of almonds. oopsies. the error has been corrected...and i hope no one actually read this before i changed it and actually used onions. because that would have produced some whack-ass cookies.
furthermore, we had some issues with the overly-sensitive smoke alarm in my house: good for real emergencies, but annoying when the source of the aggressive beeping is not an emergency.
despite all those hiccups, the cookies turned out to be delectable little puffs...almost more like muffins or cake than cookies. just a bit sweet with delicate hints of lemon and almond to offset the moist blueberries.
like i said, angel choirs and fairy dust.
