When I think of favorite foods, the list is long. When I think of bringing them to cookies, I start with flavor combinations. Then I consider texture. Each recipe is baked and tested; if it's a great cookie (a good cookie isn't good enough) I bake it again a few weeks later to see if it still matches the initial intent of the cookie.
I base cookie ideas on words related to the original food or flavor as well as themes such as familiar, fun, and flavorful. I think about a place and a moment where the cookie will be. Will this cookie add a little zest to someone's day? --Kelly
The Pesto cookies above bring together walnuts, parmesan, orange zest, and fresh basil for a simple, savory freshness and texture.
