Cookie crazy

It's day 1 of development and testing for our big Holiday Cookie story. We're all pretty excited for this feature, and we've had many chats and meetings just trying to narrow down a list of favourites. I go gaga for a chewy ginger cookie, and we've got a killer one in the works. Our first attempt tasted good but could stand to have its flavour amped waaay up. Tomorrow we'll add fresh ginger and dark chocolate.

Today we're also working on buttery hazelnut cookies and some ridiculously indulgent coconut bars (above, yum!!).

Thanks for reading! We're going to use this blog as a way to give you a sneak peek at what we're working on for upcoming issues, as well as a place to share tips and tricks that we learn as we develop and test more great recipes in the Chatelaine Kitchen. Let me know what you think.
