mishalakThe experiment, to see if I could combine two flavors which I am lovink into a cookie: olive oil and honey. Initial results were soft and fluffy, but not sweet enough. So I increased the amount of honey slightly. The results are good, but not yet perfect.
¼ Cup Olive Oil
⅓ Cup Honey, scant. (halfway betwen the ⅓ and the ¼ mark)
½ Cup and 1 Tablespoon Unbleached White Flour plus
⅛ teaspoon baking soda.
Bake 20 minutes in a glass pan at 175°C (350°F). This produces a fairly flat cookie like a snikerdoodle. My next attempt will be using a tablespoon more flour to see if it firms the cookie up without making it too floury. If too floury I shall increase the amount of honey to a full ⅓ cup as it clearly has enough oil from the way the dough leaks. Experiment results so far have been tasty, though not perfect.
