COOKIE!

I just made up a cookie recipe, cobbled together from hints of other cookies I've made. Then I added flavors I figured I'd like.

1 cup butter, softened
3 cups flour
2 eggs
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1/4 t salt
1 t baking powder
1.5 t vanilla extract
1.5 t almond extract

I made walnut-sized balls out of the dough, swatted each one with my fingertips to flatten it somewhat, and baked at 375F for 11 minutes.

Boy, are they GOOOOOOD.

They're a bit dome-shaped and cakey though. Maybe a little less flour.

The next batch will get lemon extract and chopped-up bits of dried apricot, instead of the vanilla and almond.

[Edit: Yielded 45 cookies. Of which, unfortunately, I burned six.]

I saved you a whole bunch. Someone brought a luscious chocolate almost-no-flour cake tonight, and my cookies didn't even get noticed.

Haven't gotten around to making the fruity ones.
