Attempt number 2 at crafting my perfect cookie.

Working with pecans, dates, and dark chocolate, you'd think I've at least tried to make cookies before. Well... no. I actually haven't. Until now.

It's been on my mind lately, so I'm taking a stab at creating my own cookie - specifically one that I'd actually want to eat on a regular basis.

The first attempt was kind of a failure, but I learned from it. The flavor profile was there, but structurally and appearance-wise, it wasn't quite right. I had too much butter, so this time I dialed it back a bit.

I'm also experimenting with having the batter at room temperature vs. freezing it. I've found that browning your butter adds a lot to the flavor profile. Then cooling it in the fridge with the other half of the butter to bring it back to a cooler state - much like tempering chocolate - seems to work really well when whipping the wet ingredients together.

This one is getting pretty close to perfect, but I'm going to keep testing and refining.

Perseverance brings good fortune.
