compost cookies
Hot damn these cookies are good. I used to have an uncontrollable habit of marching into Momofuku Milk Bar anytime I was within a 10-block radius and picking up some of my favorite things there: a slice of chocolate chip cake (back when they used to sell cake slices), a volcano, a blueberry cookie, and/or a compost cookie. I found the recipe for that last item online and figured it would be a good contribution to an event that is (for me, anyway) all about over-consuming fatty, salty, crunchy, and sugary things to wash down lots of beer in front of a televised sports event featuring expensive commercials.
The recipe calls for rolled oats, graham cracker crumbles, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coffee grounds, potato chips, and pretzels. In the true spirit of composting, I dumped whatever other cookie-appropriate leftover stuff from my pantry into the mix: pecans and shredded coconut. If you choose to make these cookies less enormous than the recipe calls for, make sure you reduce the baking time accordingly.
