So the Dates with Assorted Nuts cookies weren't particularly good at first. They weren't particularly good at second. Today, however, they're absolute world beaters. Did they age well? Did I have a cold for two days? Did I do a terrible job of mixing and all the flavor got stuck in half the cookies? I can't figure it. But boy do I ever love them now!
I guess next week I'll make them the same way except for making a greater effort to mix harder. One thing I noticed even when I wasn't loving them so much was that I can definitely see why people combine dates and walnuts in baked goods. Even though I'm not so taken with walnuts as a rule, the two flavors go well together. Maybe I'll amp up both the dates and walnuts next time.
Sorry, I had a really intelligent, deep post for today but I completely forgot it. Oops. These senior moments get ever more frequent.
