There are these projects, I am sure everybody knows them, that pend above your head since ages. This is one of mine. The idea sounds too tempting not to make them:
Take
1,5 cups of all the baking rest that did amass over time in your cupboard. If you have more (I bet you do!), just take your favourites.
Then, take
1,5 cups of savory snacks, preferably also rests and leftovers you want to get rid of.
Mix a very
simple cookie dough (butter, sugar, eggs - the classics), chop the mentioned leftovers in. Cool the dough, put them in the oven and that's it.
The recipe can be found
here. Originally, they are
Momofuku's Compost Cookies. David L. calls them
Amnesty Cookies - and idea I find hilarious.
I halfed the recipe, and found out that I had to limit myself indeed. 3/4 leftovers are not that much at all. In the end, I mixed up some
chocolates (a very small piece milk chocolate, a very small piece white lemon chocolate, some pure white chocolate, some mini milk-chocolate-nougat easter eggs, a bit of dark ginger chocolate),
mascarpone nougat, shredded
coconut, and a little piece of
merengue that was left from icecream-making
last week. I didn't really have savory snacks at home, so I tricked a bit and took
cookie crumbles from various projects
(at least I can claim that some of them came from vary salty batches...), which I filled up with
pumkin seeds and
sesame, and I was very liberal with the amount of salt.
