STORMY DAY IN FLORIDA = BAKING COOKIES IN THE AIRSTREAM - RECIPE INCLUDED
Hello All,
We have been here in Fort Meyers for nearly two weeks and today our day barely got started before the rain and wind came.
The weather here in Florida is very temperamental........one minute sun and a comfy breeze. Next, sheets of rain and nearly hurricane winds.

Well......Bake of course. Airstream living is a pretty small environment, and baking can be a challenge. I have a gas cooktop/oven, I love the cooktop.....the oven, not so much because it's hard to regulate a temp for baking. Thank goodness I have a microwave/convection oven. The upside is I can bake cookies, cakes, roast etc.......the downside; it's small. I can only bake six cookies at a time. But, for two people this is just fine.
I typically will make a full batch and freeze some for a treat at a later time. These cookies are dense, chewy and have a nice coconutty, chocolate flavor.

I truly love tasty cookies, especially when I buy them from someone, who bakes them in the kitchen via simple handwork, in artisan style of baking. And you know, when a cookie table is inevitable, who needs a wedding cake? That may be a fair question, but Pennsylvania’s Oakmont Bakery also bakes plenty of breathtaking cakes, too. The selection is vast: from a turtle thumbprint, the small éclair and cream puff, lemon drops, brownie drops, iced sugar cookies, red velvet cookies, jelly, chocolate and turtle, and seasonal thumbprints. Butterballs and buckeyes. Peanut butter blossoms. And, to dress things up a bit, apricot and nut kolache; plain, strawberry, and cherry cheesecake. Maybe tuck in some small danishes, an assortment of macarons, cannoli, biscotti, and truffles, tarts, or maybe cupcakes.
Those cookies look pretty awesome and tasty. Although I do prefer to eat baked goods from the stores like Edelweiss with their huge assortment of pastry and baked goods ( here: https://www.edelweissbakeryfl.com/ ), sometimes it's pretty awesome for spending some time for baking using your own hands and inner energy, hah.
