Both of these recipes look delicious and I LOVE the quote from Tim Mazurek. As a former christian turned atheist, I am all about embracing the cookie platter as one of the best ways to celebrate the season.
Wow! These look so good! For the chestnuts, I often see them sold at Asian markets in small vacuum sealed pouches as a snack. They are kind of wet and soft when you take them out. Are these the chestnuts you’re talking about?
Loved the visual of this sentence!! “You’ll want to cut it with a sharp serrated knife, using short sawing motions to neatly slice through the pecans, revealing an appealing terrazzo of fruit and nuts.”
I just made the chestnut filling and it's super thin for some reason (I 1.5x the recipe, so I used 225 grams of water alongside 1.5x the rest of the ingredients). Will it thicken up in the fridge? Or should I put it back on the stove?
So sorry, I'm just now seeing this! It will thicken up as it cools, let me know how it turned out! And feel free to DM me on instagram in the future with questions - I'm easier to read there!
These look scrumptious! I have a bag of chestnut flour and would love to use some in the shortbread to amplify the chestnuttiness—do you think a 50/50 chestnut to AP flour ratio might be a good place to start?
Hey there! Catching up on comments - I haven't worked with chestnut flour personally, but when experimenting with alt flours I usually begin at a 25% substitution and go from there. Would love to know how they came out if you made them!
