<\/a><\/center>We are having a major “weather event” here in the Pacific NW, which has been pretty exciting (it’s probably nothing compared to what the rest of the nation usually experiences, but we Oregonians are an enthusiastic bunch). Right now it is kind of blizzarding outside, so Peter decided it’d be a good time to go take a walk in the park. Well, Deedle and I are inside trying to stay warm. I am okay with this weather as long as the power doesn’t go out.\nAnyway, what’s a gal to do in these conditions but bake and eat a lot of cookies? I made these World Peace Cookies<\/a> for a cookie exchange, and I have to say, these cookies are keepers. It’s basically a buttery, shortbready kind of cookie, with chunks of chocolate and an amazing hit of fleur de sel. I made a double batch, and it was enough for about 7 people to take home good handfuls.
\nHere’s a tip for close-in Portlanders: at the cookie exchange we had soup from Soup Cycle<\/a>, a nice little outfit that makes and delivers organic soup by bicycle. We had potato leek and a peanut chicken stew. Super delicious! Their delivery range isn’t too huge (the delivery area is known as Souplandistan, which I think is really funny), but give them a try if you can!
