At the end of this recipe, a "cookie slam" is mentioned:

One commenter asked what that meant, and the reply surprised me.
So I had to look up a video of it:

I'm not sure how I'd like the texture of cookie slammed cookies compared to non-slammed cookies, but I like the sound of the term. Cookie slam! Let's have a cookie slam! A jammin' slammin' good time!
.
This is the recipe I'm using today - the cookies in this photo look much yummier to me than the above skillet one:

This recipe uses chickpea brine/water/aquafaba, which I haven't used for baking before. But I'm making twice the recipe, to make bar cookies. If a can of chickpeas doesn't contain 6 tbsp worth of brine in it, I'll use something else for the rest of the leavener. [updated: My regular-sized can had just shy of 2/3s cup!]
Oh, now I see the recipe uses baking powder and baking soda in addition to the chickpea aquafaba. Hmmm.
.
Sudden realization, after seeing a recipe for peanut butter cookies, which I haven't done in forever: If one can make chocolate chip bar cookies, there's no reason one can't make peanut butter bar cookies too!
.
The only alcohol that tastes good to me is almond extract. Have I tried amaretto? I don't remember; I wonder if it tastes better or worse to me. I should try some.
