For the first time last night I tried a cookie recipe that resulted in a crispy, not chewy, cookie.
I LIVE FOR CRISPY COOKIES =D
Chewy ones are nice, but I remember having my first American chocolate chip cookie and thinking "Are they kidding me? The cookie is almost raw!" German cookies are rock hard, so I was really surprised, ha ha!
Come to think of it, maybe this cookie was supposed to turn out chewy and I simply used too little maple syrup!?

Ruby's picture totally caught my attention and I had been eyeing Celine's cookie recipes for a while now, I just couldn't decide which one to try.
But after I read what Ruby had to say, I knew I had to make it.
[...] the peanut butter cookie from the Chicago Diner. It's one of the most astoundingly tasty cookies/desserts I've ever had, and Celine's cookies taste just like them. Only Celine's version has chocolate chips, which translates to an even better cookie.Sadly the bottom was burned. I tried scraping it off at first, but then thought screw it and happily gobbled it up. And the recipe results in 2 big cookies which is just perfect - the other one's waiting at home to comfort me after work!
I also had some of my mom's nut muesli and pimped it with chunks of mango, nectarine, kiwi (all covered up sadly) and banana slices. Then I added a few Tbsp. soy yogurt, mixed it with a squirt of agave syrup and topped it off with unsweetened apple sauce, a few raisins, almonds and flaxmeal. Delicious!!!

Work is crazy today, I can't wait to get home, relax and comment on your posts.
Have a nice day everyone!

Celine is a cookie GENIUS! In fact, she's the cookie Queen!!
It's almost near impossible to make a crispy cookie without it turning rock hard. So kudos to you and her for baking those awesome cookies. MMM!!
I can't remember if mine came out crispy or chewy! what is wrong with my brain?
anyway: it's not my recipe, I just downsized it by the way! I think I barely adapted it and just rewrote the instructions. don't want the good folks at Vegetarian Times to think that I'm trying to steal the recipe or something. :)
ps: I am slowly becoming American since I am starting to love on the chewy side of cookies. help?
Oh my, that cookie sounds wonderful; and I usually PREFER chewy cookies!! But I may have to change my mind now, haha :0)
That nut muesli looks delicious as well! Yum!
Celine = cookie goddess.
I'm totally with you: cookies are crispy! otherwise it's cake! :-)
Cool cookie, and I also like the look of the muesli.
I agree with everyone else that Celine is indeed the QUEEN of dessert!! BUT I also think that you're a genius at cooking,baking AND photography! Keep up with the good work Liz!!!
We in America are a fan of half a mile thick underdone cookies. At least that has been a lot of my experience. I like chewy cookies alright, but the crispy ones are my favorite!
Your pimped muesli sounds amazing Lizzy, oh my goodness, I wish I could approach my breakfasts with even an ounce of your imagination, I might like breakfast better!
