Hi all – I thought I'd try my hand at a kid-friendly oatmeal cookie recipe today. Remember when Jack was little? Well he's not anymore. And we cook and bake together when he comes to stay – imagine me hovering over him and pointing at hot surfaces every ten seconds. The number of times I say the word careful is staggering. He loves making Belgian waffles blanching broccoli and baking cookies. And he can whip egg whites like a champ. It's super fun although I have to say (like many adults I know) he loses interest if a baking project is too complicated. So my plan is to try these cookies with him. It’s a stovetop dough so I don’t have to bother with the big electric mixer and there are all sorts of aspects I suspect he’ll enjoy – pounding the fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle using an egg whisk to mix the sugar and egg and working with a dough that goes from little lumps to flat pancakes in a short baking time. It all comes together quickly and the resulting cookies are wafer-thin and lacy golden studded with poppy seeds and an aniseed accent from ground fennel seeds.
