Cookies! I just finished writing the manuscript for my latest cookbook, Zoe Bakes Cookies (coming next fall from @tenspeedpress), and writing a cookie book is a family affair. Graham and the boys are my best taste testers because they are SUPER honest and give me great feedback. In this episode of Zoë Bakes on Magnolia Network I take you along as I work through a Linzer cookie recipe that’s just shy of awesome! The base of the cookie is made from ground nuts, so I visit a local hazelnut farm called @_organic_compound to see if switching from almonds to hazelnuts will make the recipe sing. The second I pull into the orchard I am flooded with memories of growing up in the bucolic hills of Vermont. Wil (@wtcrombie), Carly and baby Hazel, remind me of my own family when I was just a toddler running around the commune. The hazelnuts they grow here in MN are smaller, more sustainable and absolutely freakin delicious. They are exactly what my cookie needed to make it into my book. You can use any hazelnuts, but if you can get your hands on some of these (link in recipe), it’s an extra special treat. I also made an oatmeal raisin cookie with coconut. They were so good my husband hid them from the boys so he could eat them all! 🤣😂 Those are for sure in the book. 🔗 RECIPES from the episode are linked in my @zoebakes BIO. ♥️🌰🍪 #zoebakes #zoebakescookies #linzercookies #hazelnuts #madeinmn #mngrown #oatmealcookies #oatmealraisincookies
