Iced vanilla latte cookies
Cookies
If I have a weakness greater than vanilla lattes, it’s having a second breakfast of cookies with a vanilla latte. My motto is that if you're going to indulge, you may as well do it right, so I set out to create a vanilla latte cookie that would be a perfect late-morning treat. I started with one of my favorite cookie recipes, Edna Lewis’ buttermilk cookies published in Gourmet magazine in 2008. They’re lovely in their simplicity, a soft cookie with a faintly crisp edge adorned with a thin buttermilk-vanilla glaze. To boost the flavor, I used a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour, increased the vanilla, and added a healthy dose of espresso. I upped the vanilla in the glaze and added a pinch of salt as well, so each bite would taste of espresso and vanilla with a slightly sweet finish. Luckily, the recipe makes enough that you can easily pawn some off on unsuspecting coworkers or neighbors, saving yourself from a third breakfast.
