The other part of the experiment…I’m running low on some ingredients (please see above re: moving).  I had to move around some proportions of the recipe and I also (gasp!) didn’t measure a bunch of things either (which in hindsight might have not been the best idea).  The recipe was Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies, from Martha Stewart.  Ok, they’re actually from Sisha Ortuzar, co-owner and executive chef of ‘wichcraft, a great sandwich (get it?) place that I used to visit in NY.  The only major edit I made to the recipe was for the filling.  I added some cocoa powder to the mix to try and add some chocolate flavor.

The end result?  They’re gorgeous.  They remind me of heartier version of French macaroons.  Taste wise, I actually thought they were a bit too rich initially.  However, they taste much better the next day, so I recommend making them ahead of time.   My classmates liked them a lot (but of course they could just be too nice to tell me the truth).

Although, taking another look at them makes me think they look like tiny hamburgers…
