Melody cookies from Dorie's Cookies (page 206) by Dorie Greenspan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I really like these. I have enjoyed and had success with every cookie recipe I have tried from this book. I just used some natural Cadbury cocoa powder. It really does taste kind of like a homemade buttery version of packaged cookies. I baked ~350F convection and found that they were ready to take out around 10-11 minutes based on her description. They have a similar texture to the sable recipes in this book. I kind of prefer these to the World Peace Cookies because they have a milder chocolate flavor that appeals more to me. These are also pretty unfussy and taste good whether they are baked a little softer or a little crispier.
