Cookies Crumble
But brownies don't. That's one of the reasons we like them for schlepping to parties this time of year. Plus, who doesn't like a chocolate brownie. If you missed the premiere issue of Relish (February 2006), you missed out on one of the best brownies we've ever had. A specialty of Leslie Mackie of Macrina Bakery and Cafe in Seattle, they contain only 2 tablespoons of flour (that's right, it isn't a typo) and plenty of eggs, resembling a flourless chocolate cake. Moist and fudgy, yet light at the same time, they're perfect for the holidays and for the chocoholics on your list. Not to be remiss though, if it's cookies you're after, there are plenty at www.relishmag.com. Tasty holidays!
