Sunshine Cookie Crisps

Local Food Friday

Sunshine Cookie Crisps
Coconut Crispy Indian Spiced Oatmeal Cookies
Dedicated to Lily and Ethan
gluten-free makes 2 dozen cookies

   
  
Sunshine Cookies will get a wow from adventurous eaters, and seconds will even go into the mouths of the cautious. Thin and crispy, toasty with coconut with warming Indian spices. The bright yellow sunshine comes from the magic ingredient turmeric. They are plenty sweet but not too. Take them anywhere you want to create a sensation.   

  The recipe was born out of one of those curious shower questions:
I wonder what turmeric would be like in a cookie? I was going to call them
Golden Child Crisps, but my happily munching on her third cookie,
nine-year-old friend Lily, declared that they should be called
Sunshine Cookies because they made her feel sunny. So be it.

The spice combination (especially the turmeric and cardamom) echoes one of the most memorable cakes I ever ate, at a San Francisco tea establishment called Samovar.
There are not a whole lot of cakes I remember - I'm more of a salty/savory kind of person. But gracious, that was a good one.
