OK, back from China. They don't have very good cookies in China. And not nearly enough chocolate. Here are some cookies and some chocolate. Can you say autumn???
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies with Brown-Butter Icing, from Martha Stewart's Cookies
Applesauce Spice Bars, from Dorie Greenspan, Baking
In the first recipe, the chocolate chips are my addition - the recipe is for plain pumpkin cookies with icing. I realized rather late in the day that I didn't have any chocolate in my recipes this week, and decided to add the chocolate chips at the last minute. Andy does not approve, since he thinks that pumpkin and chocolate are not flavors that go together; however, there are a million recipes that say "au contraire". As he pointed out, it will not keep him from eating 1 or 2 (dozen). I made these cookies around 2 years ago, for the tea and cookies before Faith-Mind's shuso hossen ceremony. I think I made the applesauce bars before also, but I really have no memory of them. They also have an icing, so this was a complicated cookie week, 2 varieties each with its own icing.
OK, now to bed.
