Ovenly: Sweet and Salty Recipes from New York's Most Creative Bakery

By Erin Patinkin, Agatha Kulaga
Harlequin - 2014

I kept bumping into these all over the internet (smitten kitchen, the kitchn etc) and finally got around to making them and am so glad I did - they are wonderful! Maybe my new favorite due to the light crispy outside, moist, tender centers and oh so peanut buttery flavor! These are flourless and really easy to throw together. The dough is not at all stiff and very soft and certainly benefits from a little time in the freezer. To get the look of the pictured cookies SK advises to put the whole bowl of dough in the freezer for 15 minutes. The sprinkle of salt on top takes them over the top delicious.

This is moist and delicious, however I would have loved a little more lemon flavor... and that's after adding 1/4 cup lemon juice! I followed the recipe very closely other than the added lemon juice and subbing blueberries, and really enjoyed the results, but next time I will definitely add more zest (2 T. maybe) and massage that zest into the white sugar. I did have to bake an extra 6 minutes or so. I used frozen blueberries since lemon/blueberry is one of my favorite flavor combos.
