I know I do a lot of statements about the baked goods being my favorite . I probably named my favorite cake, brownie and cookie and then renamed. But no matter how many times I do it, I will still try something new and swears he is really the one the best treatment most delicious I've ever had.
Well friends, I can say without doubt that of all the recipes we've done so far of The Milk Bar Cookbook, this is by far my favorite. Yes- this ugly yellow cookie was more delicious to me than all the layers, sticky, complex things we tried. Now do not get me wrong, those were all really wonderful, but I eat cookies every day if I could ... they are just as delicious. Salty, rich, soft and sweet, with the most complex flavor sweet-corn.
You may be wondering why I post without my girls on a Friday, but I can explain. These cookies are part of the crust of a pie that we will all be posting Monday. I could try this cookie at Milk Bar actual last few months, and I loved him so much that I thought it deserved a post of its own. However good this cookie is an ingredient of a crust, it is even better all on its own.
This recipe is one of the easier and basic I tried Christina Tosi and would be a great first try! No creaks, no crumbs and no multiple components are required. Now you need to order / find a special ingredient that is freeze-dried corn. I could get it at Whole Foods, but I know it is also available on Amazon. Running the corn through a blender, grind it into a fine powder that really permeates these cookies with a strong flavor of sweet corn in every bite.
My brother-in-law said this was in the top 3 of cookies he ever had. And he ate a lot of cookies to say something good?
Have a great weekend and stay tuned for more Milk Bar on Monday!
* Make the gel dried corn grinding corn powder in blender or food.
