at the high line

It is the time to be outside. At the High Line (above), or laying on grass in the park, or hanging out with friends at an outdoor cafe, or watching outdoor theater, a movie or music .... we’re squarely in the middle of summer!

717 CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES

Lots of crunch, lots of chew, not too sweet, and the turbinado sugar gives them a fun sparkle.



Chewy Sugar CookiesMakes about 2 dozen cookies 
Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup turbinado sugar, or coarse sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugars for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl. Continue beating for another minute. Scrape bowl again.

Add vanilla. Beat for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl. Add egg. Beat for 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl. Add flour, salt and baking soda. Beat 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl and beat for another minute.

Place course sugar in small, shallow bowl. Using a small cookie/ice cream scoop (mine is 1 ½“ in diameter), scoop balls of dough and drop a few at a time in the course sugar and gently roll around. Place balls of dough on parchment, leaving about 1 ½“ space around each. My pans fit 12 cookies very comfortably.

Do not press the balls down. This will ensure a chewy middle. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, turning and reversing pans midway through baking. Resist the urge to bake your cookies longer, or they won’t be chewy. The tops don’t get much color, but the bottoms will be nicely golden.

Place pans on cooling racks. When cool, store cookies in air-tight containers.

711 sesame dressing

(9.5oz) - Tonton Sesame Dressing brings the toasty flavor of the sesame to prominence on the palate. The nutty taste is enhanced by a rich, sweet blend of mirin, miso and light brown sugar with acidity from rice vinegar, lime and yuzu (Japanese citrus). The flavor is punched up with the earthy saltiness of soy sauce as well as a kick from chipotle and a proprietary blend of herbs and spices. In addition to adding authentic Japanese flavor to salad greens, the Sesame Dressing pairs well with seafood or grilled meat and can be used straight from the bottle on cold noodles for a quick meal.

Ingredients - Rice Vinegar, Canola Oil, Sesame Puree, Water, Mirin, Sugar, Japanese Soy Sauce (Water, Wheat, Soybeans, Sea Salt & Alcohol), Miso (Soybean, Rice & Salt), Egg Yolk, Salt, Lime, Yuzu, All Natural Chicken and Beef Broth, Bonito, Shiitake, Chipotle, Yeast Extract, Soy Lecithin, and Xanthan Gum
