Made these tonight. YUM! And super-easy. the richness of butter and corn with sage to add depth and apricot for brightness – perfect. Interestingly, this recipe was also published in Gourmet in something like 1997 according to Epicuriois.

Just wanted to let you know I made these this evening and LOVED them! So easy and really tasty. I didn’t want to go out to the store and didn’t have fresh sage on hand, so I used 1/2 tsp of dried thyme and 1/4 tsp of dried rosemary instead and they were still really good! Thanks for the recipe. :)

Great recipe! The sage adds a perfect unique touch. I’ve tried them with dried cherries instead of apricots, also, and really liked it.

Jenny: That is so good to hear! I am glad you liked the recipe, I totally agree that it is an instant favorite. Thanks for sharing the story, Chez Panisse remains one of my favorite dining experiences of all time. Such an amazing place you’ve got there.

My boyfriend and I work at Chez Panisse, in Berkeley, and we went into the Café for dinner on Valentine’s day. We always like to bring in something homemade for the cooks/staff, and decided that this was the recipe fit for the occasion. I brought a plate of them into the cooks as they were sitting down for a quick family meal, and they loved them SO much that a message was sent to our table that the head chef wanted the recipe, (along with a gift of prosciutto wrapped scallops from the downstairs restaurant kitchen!). Needless to say, thanks for posting this recipe…it really is a new favorite, AND paid off! : )

I can totally get behind the cornmeal and apricots, but sage? Sage is such a domineering herb. Maybe I’d have to try it with just the teensiest hint of sage. (Although it certainly looks pretty, with the green speckles.)

These look and sound fabulous. Once you get around to that ice cream – and if you have these cookies on hand – I’m picturing ice cream sandwiches!

Cheers,

Hi Tim! After reading your post, I can practically taste these cookies now. A very rare – at least I did not hear of it before – combination of sage and apricot flavours!! When I own an oven again (hm, sounds like a nursery rhyme, but only for cooks), I’ll make them. Positively!

This cookie recipe strikes me as one of those that is just crazy enough to be, possibly, perfect. Definitely trying this one. Found your site via pioneerwoman — so happy I did! Beautiful photos and lovely writing. Back soon.

Welcome, Mandy! and thanks.

Maggie: The book seems pretty well balanced to me. (But maybe I am not the best judge.) I am a really big fan of it so far.

I just found your blog – will be bookmarking it! Everything looks amazing. My husband would die for these cookies.
I’m excited to have found you :)
Cheers!
