Chow Megan Seling: An Assignment
Posted by Erica C. Barnett on Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Hey Megan, I know you're on "vacation" or whatever, but if you're reading this, I've got an assignment to rival your Martha Stewart cookie-making extravaganza: Gourmet Magazine has just released a list of its very best cookie from each year of its existence. That's sixty years, and sixty cookies. If you get started now, and do three recipes a day, you should be able to make them all by Christmas. I'm particularly intrigued by 1972's Dutch Caramel Cashew Cookies, 1943's Scotch Oat Crunchies, and 2002's Stained Glass Teardrops (pictured above).
GO!

if you stare at the picture - it starts to move.

It'd be funny if ECB got Megan an apron for Christmas and told her to get back into the kitchen and make some more goddamn cookies.

I think I'll be trying out the alcohol containing recipes: 1946 Moravian White, 1949 Brandy Snaps, 1952 Palets de Dames, 1974 Kourambiedes, 1980 Bourbon Balls, 1984 Souvaroffs, 1999 Chocolate Sambuca Crinkle Cookies

The moving picture effect is stunning in that it seems to be accidental.

I have an earlier version of Gourmet's xmas cookies (not an anniversary issue, sigh), and last week I decided I was going to tackle making the stained glass cookies.
I suspect that mine won't look quite so perfect as the ones in the photo.....

I made the 1999 Chocolate Sambuca Crinkle Cookies last year and they were TO DIE FOR. I plan to make them again this year since I still have the expensive, big-ass bottle of Sambuca.

Is the December Slog Happy Hour a cookie exchange?
p.s. Megan, I'll chip in on the ingredients for the Dutch Caramel Cashew Cookies.

Why isn't a batch of Megan's cookies on the list of Strangercrombie auctions? I would totally bid on those.

Megan can draw on the petty-cash fund for ingredients, right?
60 recipes x avg. $10 ingredients each = ~$600

I get a somewhat crunchy (not-so-good) vibe from Erica's remark.
But my final response will depend upon how Megan takes this.

My Mom used to make Bourbon Balls for parties. She never let me have any.
