Quest 22: Boomerang Cookies
One of the most universal pieces of equipment in the LoZ is the boomerang. It brings you things that would otherwise be out of your reach. It trips switches and in my opinion is one of the best items you can equip. Today, we will celebrate this useful item by creating pecan cookies shaped like boomerangs. These cookies are pretty easy, only have a few ingredients and bake up in a breeze. These pecan crescent shaped cookies will have you coming back again and again. Enjoy!
Gear!
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup finely (and I mean finely!) chopped pecans
2 cups gluten free AP flour with xanthan gum
1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream
colored sugar (blue and yellow)
The Quest!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together the butter and sugar until it is fluffy and creamy.
Creamy! Add vanilla extract, cardamom, and cinnamon.
Finely chop the pecans! I am using a mini chopper to get a more consistent result. It is also much fast than hand chopping.That's fine!
Add pecans and flour to the butter mixture and combine until dough is crumbly. If it is too dry to make a ball when you squish (yes, technical term) it in your hands, add the 1-2 tablespoons of cream to help bind the dough a little better. It should still be crumbly.
Form inch balls in your hand and then squish into log shapes.
On your sheet pan, shape logs into crescents.
Ta-da!
Sprinkle with colored sugar: Yellow for regular boomerangs; Blue for Magical boomerangs.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Place on a cooling rack to help them set.
Enjoy!
