Panic in the kitchen has often led to good things. At least, in my case. These cookies, for instance, were the result of an attempt to salvage an entire jar of expensive honey crunch wheat germ that I had forgotten about. These little square things may look like cakes but the texture is really more cookie than cake. More like brownies, actually, and brownies are cookies. But similar to food for the gods too because of the inclusion of dates and nuts. The best way the enjoy these sweets is to allow them to chill in the fridge overnight before cutting and serving. While warm, they are much too crumbly and they seem dry too. But after several hours in the fridge, they become chewy and succulent. Maybe, it’s the honey. These things were baked with honey and no sugar. So, perhaps, it’s the honey that turned them chewy. Whatever did it, the result was great.
