World Peace Cookies
These cookies are not my recipe but are a very famous recipe from the ubiquitous Dorie Greenspan who I adore! She is the queen of baking. All hail!
You kind of can't go wrong when you end up baking something called World Peace Cookies. Right? The lovely story behind these cookies is that Dorie Greenspan and Pierre Hermé created this recipe literally decades ago and as they ate in delight declared that it could certainly bring world peace if people would eat them. Who could make war when indulging in such a beautiful expression of love in a warm kitchen?
This is essentially a chocolate sable with chocolate chunks and my fave salt Murray River pink salt flakes added to punch it to next level delicious!
As ambitious as the name may be, I agree, if you google the name, you will realise that although world peace has not yet been achieved, many many people have been made very happy by baking and eating these cookies. Me included. Thanks Dorie! You are always an inspiration!
