Linda O'Boyle, owner of Metro Home Style at the Regional Market Commons, is a busy lady this time of year. She's working long days and having extended hours at the store on Wednesdays during December, but still carving out time to bake.
She writes: "Any suggestions for a cookie that will add some pizzazz to the holiday cookie tray that doesn't require frosting and freezes well?''
Answer: Yes, yes and yes! How about a batch of World Peace Cookies?
The recipe is the brainchild of master baker Dorie Greenspan, and it's included in her wonderful book, "Baking: From My Home to Yours.''
The beauty of these cookies -- besides their rich, double-chocolate, combination sweet and salty flavor -- is that you can make the dough in advance, roll it into cylinders and stash it in the freezer.
Later, all you have to do is slice and bake.
World Peace Cookies get a lot of coverage in the media and in the blogosphere. Click here for the recipe, which is included in "The Splendid Table'' recipe box.
Enjoy! If you make the recipe, stop back and let me know what you think.
Linda -- I'm so glad this recipe worked out for you. Refrigerator cookies are like money in the bank! Especially this time of year...
See you soon!
