Variations
Chocolate: use 3/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. (101.5g) of flour, 3 Tbsp. (28.4g) cocoa powder, and 1/2 tsp. espresso powder
Gingerbread: (has not been tested) add 3/4 tsp. each of ginger and cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/8 tsp. ground cloves. Use brown sugar instead of white sugar, omit amaretto, and add 1 Tbsp. blackstrap molasses.
Speculaas: sub brown sugar for white sugar, add scant 1/4 tsp. each of cinnamon and ginger, 1/8 tsp. each nutmeg, allspice, and pepper, and 1/16 tsp. cloves.
Pinecone wood mold: use chocolate, speculaas, or gingerbread flavored dough. Use 35g of dough for each cookie, recipe makes 8. Bake for 8-9 minutes for a soft cookie.
To use the mold: grease with oil, then add 1 teaspoon of flour. Press flour into mold, then shake excess out. Add flour in between each cookie. Freeze molded cookies for at least 5 minutes before baking.
