"Bal's Lentil Cookies" before my camera battery died...
I've been wanting to bake these cookies for a while. Show me a "weird" cookie recipe and I want to try them. Another cool thing is that I'm writing this blog post in real time while the cookies are still in the oven!!!
Yes, it's a late night in The Lion's Share kitchen.
I have my May herbal apprenticeship day this weekend and, since we all bring food to share, I thought I'd try this recipe! The only change I made was substituting brown rice flour for the wheat.
It's been a very mellow evening. I thought it would be an excellent idea for me to enjoy some Glenfiddich in my brand new whisky glass while baking and listening to my iPod on shuffle. I'm enjoying myself immensely...but I keep forgetting to set the timer as the evening wears on. Whoop! ;)
Oh well! Leonard Cohen is on right now...and I only have one more batch of cookies to go before I can turn in.
I starting baking after a particularly sad episode of Bones...so I needed to console myself.

And in case you missed the link under the opening photo...here is the recipe:
Bal's Lentil Cookies
They're full of great things like lentils, pumpkin seeds, almonds, brown sugar, chocolate chips...and butter. Woohoo! Sadly, they aren't full of whisky...but I am, so all is well. LOL.
I've had a pretty draining couple of weeks since I got back from Scotland. I'm terribly homesick for it...but things continue to iron out and I can see my way. Getting back into the kitchen, baking, and singing along to my iPod has helped to steady me. I love how cooking can do that...and singing along with my tunes.
