I’m feeling cooky, let’s make some cookies
Wow, or maybe I’m just super sleep deprived since Jacob woke up THREE times last night (thanks, Jake).
Nic had a recipe not long ago for Chewy Cheesecake Cookies. They looked too good to this cheesecake lover to just print out the recipe and stick in “the file”. You can follow the link to the recipe.
After reading the comments, I decided to try the original recipe along with several of the suggested alterations. I baked 1/3 of them as directed, to 1/3 of them, I added lemon juice (had no zest as suggested), and rolled 1/3 of them in sugar before baking.
The originals were fantastic. They’re a soft, delicate cookie that’s very pretty. The 1/3 I added lemon juice to were yummy, also. At first, I took a bite and couldn’t detect the lemon, but it came through nicely after I’d chewed for a bit. Something about the lemon detracted a bit from the cheesecake flavor. I think it tasted more like a sugar cookie - and hey! there’s some lemon here, too. I wouldn’t suggest covering the cookies in sugar. They didn’t come out as pretty at all, and I wouldn’t say they were fantastic. It wasn’t bad, I just won’t mess up a good thing and try it again.
