When developing a recipe, I often set out by studying a collection of existing recipes in order to generate an amalgam of sorts before I forge ahead in my own deviant direction.
Since it’s time to start thinking about Christmas cookies (I lie – it’s always time to think about Christmas cookies) and because I had too much oatmeal in the house (long story), a spin on oatmeal pecan raisin cookies seemed like a solid idea.
So I developed my own bespoke recipe – which happily turned out to be first-rate – but since I’m a lily-gilder by nature I decided to elevate it by sandwiching cannoli filling between cookie pairs.
If I do say so myself, I may very well have come up with another entry for the holiday repertoire!
(I would have taken a better photo, but all the cookies mysteriously disappeared before I had the chance. Elves maybe?)
Yay, it’s cookie time with Rich! These oatmeal cookies almost sound healthy. Might need some chocolate chunks.
Great to hear from you Pauline! Gwen said the same thing to me on Facebook (of course she did 😉), but I explained that there are (well, were) chocolate bits in the cannoli cream!
