Tommy is back from his trip to NZ and he brought lots of great stuff for our kitchen collection. Amongst the gifts and stuff he got, is an Edmond's recipe book, that from what I hear, is kind of the kiwi cooking bible. We were browsing through some stuff and decided to try out a recipe for cookies by Edmonds. I instantly loved the name of these so I went for them. They're really easy to make and take no time at all. The dough ends up pretty close to any other cookie dough around, but instead of starting with creaming the sugar and butter, you go the melting method. They look very cute with the fork dent impressions on them.
