Dinner in Whately: two fun Blue Aprons. One was tiny meatballs in tomato sauce with capers, orzo, yellow peppers and shishito peppers, the other was a pretty straightforward pesto with zucchini and fettucine. Big hits.
I brought a couple of kinds of cookies, both new! One was an orange shortbread, from the cookbook Flour. It was actually meant to be rosemary shortbread, but I had bought an orange for a recipe that I didn't end up making (I'll get to you one day, Boozy Rum Cake! Even if you do require 14 eggs!). Nice and shortbready, albeit a little subtle on the orange flavor. The other was a Cookie Butter cookie, which I thought of while out running (and cracked myself up thinking about cookies being made into butter being made into cookies...). Sure enough, there are plenty of recipes out there, so I picked one at random. A couple of minor things---she claimed the dough would be dry and crumbly (it wasn't, even after I added a bit more flour), I forgot to add some of the sugar (it was plenty sweet), and I didn't freeze the dough, as directed. Still great! Corrina and Carter liked them, so that's nice. I saved the recipe in case we ever end up with spare cookie butter.
