Today has been: brunch, hang the antique pendant lamp, and make no-bake cookies. Will probably watch a movie later and read. Settling in for a low-key, wintry evening/
The no-bake cookies came out a bit dry and crumbly, but had a good flavor. It’s my dad’s recipe, though his no-bakes are always stellar. I’m pretty confident the issue lies with me. The recipe is very straightforward, but there’s some technique involved in how the ingredients are mixed together that I’m not able to recall. It’s been a minute since I’ve made these cookies, plus I’m not a baker (or no-baker) by nature.
The cookies’ haphazard placement on the parchment paper did call to mind some haggard army marching home from a ferocious battle, not yet aware that a new, more dangerous threat would soon consume them.
