Welcome to Cookbook of the Week.
One of the latter isMiette.This weeks cookbook comes from the eponymous bakery in San Francisco.
I get the appeal.
The bakerys offerings are European in backbone but have a distinctly retro American look.
The desserts are classic, and true to how the bakery produces their products.
Keep in mind that youre looking for the most recent version.
The 2011 cover features their three layer Tomboy cake.
The newest edition includes corrections of errors that were in the first publication.
These treats were born to be gifts.
If youve come acrossmy hallongrottor postthen youre aware that I have a severe dependency on jam-filled baked goods.
After a few back and forths, I marked the page for thumbprints.
However, when cookie batches are small for home production Ill often just do it by hand.
This recipe was one of those that work just fine in a bowl with a wooden spoon.
I mixed, I scooped, I rolled, and I thumbprinted.
(Well, I use an old wine cork, actuallycorks are superior to thumbs, here).
The cookie was exactly as I hoped: pudgy and round with a dollop of sweet raspberry.
A classic thumbprint cookie perfect for serving to friends or dropping off to your grandkids.
The cookie reminds me of raspberry vanilla ice cream and Im not mad about it.
