Cookies are vehicles for mix-ins. Knowing that, I don’t think enough about the layering of flavors in the inclusions in cookies. I rely on the “dump it all in there” mentality. Aki was making biscotti. She was being thoughtful as she was creating new flavors. She started with a lemon-scented dough. She added milk chocolate, pistachios, and white chocolate to humor me. She was concerned and aware of how the cookies would come together. It’s remarkable what we pay attention to and what we gloss over. Watching someone else’s process is enlightening.
