"The two main revelations I had when devising this recipe (both of which I'd highly recommend you include) are, first, use fresh coffee grounds, because they impart an incredible depth of flavour without overpowering the cookie. And, second, the addition of salty snacks (salted crisps, pretzels and/or peanuts, for example) is totally delicious in combination with the sweets. You can also try adding other ingredients such as cereal, tortilla chips or roasted fava beans."
"Compost (AKA larder) cookies Christina Tosi writes in Gourmet Traveller Australia how she first learned to make these cookies at a conference centre on Star Island, New England, where they'd bake them each week with a hodge-podge of different ingredients. Being on an island, they didn't always have access to what they wanted, so they had to come up with a new recipe every week using whatever they had."
Compost (larder) cookies blend sweet components and salty snacks to create a strong contrast and a satisfying flavour rush. The cookies originated at a conference centre on an island where weekly baking used whatever ingredients were available. Fresh coffee grounds add an intense, balanced depth of flavour without overpowering the cookie. Salty additions such as salted crisps, pretzels or peanuts complement the sweets; cereal, tortilla chips or roasted fava beans can also be used. An optional biscuit crust can be made from crushed biscuits combined with melted butter. Typical dough ingredients include 225g butter, 350g sugar, golden syrup, an egg, vanilla, flour and oats. The batch yields about twenty cookies.
