These cookies may be gingerbread but eating them would be tantamount to breaking off a piece of the north transept rose window of Notre Dame and using it as a coaster. Or, perhaps in simpler terms, A HEINOUS SIN. Semi-inspired by said window and medieval blacksmith puzzles, these cookies are really for hanging in a window or near lots of sparkly lights.
I liken this recipe to a jazz quartet. Nutmeg and cinnamon give it deep warm soul, while ginger and lemon juice hit all the high notes.
Is it just me or is cookie batter a visual metaphor for racial harmony? Dark chocolate, white flour, red honey, yellow ginger, brown sugar all coming together. To be eaten. #zombiehumor
March comes in like a lion, August goes out with an apple.. No, wait.. Never put a gift apple in your mouth. That’s not it.. An apple a day is worth two in the bush. Oh, screw the clever excerpts – here’s a “witty” tagline: Apples even a PC user will love!
7 ingredients + 2 tiny baking dishes + 45 minutes = simple, delicious summer dessert. (Or breakfast, or snack, or just because…)
The devil is always, always, always in the details. And everywhere else too.
Another summer mainstay: good ol’ yellow cake with chocolate frosting, in cupcake form with fancy-shmancy buttercream.
