What is the 4th of July without a BBQ? Luckily, Mike and I were invited to the ‘burbs of Long Island to enjoy some good ol’ grillin’. It so happened that we were eating Parve Kosher (that means no milk!) so this left me with quite a dilemma with baking. I had a recipe in mind that I hoped would taste good enough that slight textural changed wouldn’t matter (margarine just doesn’t have the same texture/flavor as butter, and it was quite hard to find a parve margarine!). It happened that TheGourmetFoodie had sent me her post to the recipe for Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies and I do love both amaretto and chocolate chip cookies. I won’t repost the recipe since it’s right at that link, but even with margarine and soy creamer it was excellent. I look forward to making them with butter and milk because honestly, it would be hard to make these better. Cookie monster indeed!
We managed to eat all the cookies before I remembered to photograph, but here is a pic of the lovely spread from Saturday:
