I love the way you packaged your cookies - so pretty! And Tricia, I'm with you on the indexes, it would be so helpful. Your cookies turned out beautifully, too. I love all the variation in the results people got this week, depending on what nuts they used and how many.Teresahttp://onewetfoot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-92780030770414452015-01-30T19:07:05.387-08:002015-01-30T19:07:05.387-08:00You're right about this being a great way to u...You're right about this being a great way to use up egg whites. I've been scratching my head trying to think up a way to use the two egg yolks. Someone should write a that cross-reference to pair up the ideas. Nana, I loved the way you bagged up the extra cookies. Tricia, you are right that it's surprising these don't taste sweeter since sugar is the primary ingredient in the batter. Hope you stay warm this weekend.Betsyhttp://aplatefulofhappiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-41089971595450920832015-01-30T14:38:55.102-08:002015-01-30T14:38:55.102-08:00It would be a good cross reference but I think the...It would be a good cross reference but I think the French wisely use the whites primarily. You might want to have a Spanish or Portuguese cookbook on hand to have use up the yolks. I had a dessert in Portugal that was basically egg yolks and sugar...not my favorite, but at least you aren't wasting anything.

I made 1/2 quantity (of course) and it made something like 25 cookies, not 17... I liked the versatility of these - how you could switch up the nuts (add chocolate!) and maybe even add some dried fruit!Mardi Michelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125377934755716212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-81660382018337355172015-01-30T05:05:32.633-08:002015-01-30T05:05:32.633-08:00Ooh, loved that you used walnuts.
