below is the correct name and recipe) 3-3-01 top of page

MACADAMIA TOFFEE CHIP COOKIES (didn't give from Martha Stewart TV show) 3-3-01

Made with soft, salty macadamia nuts, this Cookie of the Week is a crunchy variation on the classic chocolate-chip confection. Use caramel-flavored toffee chips as a delicious substitute for the
traditional chocolate. Makes 3 dozen

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups toffee chips
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped macadamia nuts (11 ounces)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper, and
set aside.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitter with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugars.
Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Add
eggs and vanilla extract, and beat to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk flours, baking soda, and salt
until combined. Mix in toffee chips and macadamia nuts.

3. Scoop dough out onto prepared baking sheets using a 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop, placing them
about 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake until golden and just
set, rotating the sheets between the oven racks halfway through to ensure even browning, about 15 minutes. Transfer the sheets to a wire rack to cool, about 5 minutes. Transfer cookies from sheet to
rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Questions: Do you add salt to when canning beans, peppers, tomatoes in oven at 250°. 3-17-01
Answer: Do not can in oven; also you can add salt if desired to any products you can. 3-17-01
Questions: What does the herb savory tastes like. 3-17-01
Answer: Savory (summer savory-saturejahortensis Winter savory-s.montana). Both summer and
winter savory have a pleasant, piquant flavor, though winter savory is stronger and more resinous.
Used similarly, both are best known for their use with vegetables and all types of beans. Known as
"bean herb" in Germany, the savories not only give flavor but cut down on gas produced by beans.
They also eliminate the strong odors in cabbage and turnips if you put 2 to 3 leaves in the cooking
water. Best used fresh; must be home grown.
