The cookie chosen by both Jacques Torres & Dorie Greenspan
April 30, 2013 by LindsayWe don’t usually bring attention to cooking contests – there are far too many of them – but the winner of the recent Fonseca contest caught our attention. First, the contest was rather unique – design a cookie that would go well with Port – and the judges (Jacques Torres and Dorie Greenspan) are no slouches. Then the cookie itself is really good – and designed for mature audiences.
The cookies, labeled Portofignos, are described
in Food Republic’s article,
The Cookie Recipe That Caught the Eye of Jacques Torres & Dorie
Greenspan, as “not-too-sweet, chocolate sablé filled with salty
walnuts and Port-soaked figs.” They also publish the recipe for
those who are interested in trying it out.
And even if you don’t want to make the cookie, Jacques Torres has a great tip for macerating fruit, “When I marinate fruit, I like to do so cold, rather than warm. It’s best if the fruit marinates for a few days to absorb a great deal of flavor. The alcohol will still cook out when the cookies are baked.”
