If you read my blog carefully, you'll have seen that a few weeks ago I did something I hadn't done before: double-post a recipe.
For some reason, I had no memory of posting Gingery Sweet Potato and Apple Saute in March 2015, and didn't even realize the duplication until a week after posting it again in January. At least, one might argue, they were nearly two years apart.
I'll admit life is busy now - in addition to my full-time (plus overtime) contract position, I'm juggling a few freelance projects. And maybe that's making me absent-minded. Because when I went to post a recipe today, I hovered over the cauliflower-kale gratin photos on my computer before realizing I'd posted that one six weeks ago.
After that near-miss, I triple-checked that I hadn't already posted my recipe for Garam Masala cookies. And I'm happy to say this is a brand-new recipe for my blog! I've made so many cookies in my life that it's rare to come across one that's completely different, but this one truly is. I wouldn't have imagined how great an impact garam masala would have on a batch of cookies. And I promise you this - if you make these cookies, you'll never forget them.

In a stand mixer, beat

I'm not sorry you posted that recipe twice because it reminded me that I want to try it sometime. Glad you have a lot of contract work. Me too. In fact, I'm taking a break on a Sunday night from work. Sigh.
The cookie recipe reminds me of Indian flavors. Yum!
LOL...sometimes I have to do a recipe search on my blog to see if I've shared an old favorite or not. I didn't even realize you had reposted the same recipe. I've actually been updating old photos, since it gives me an excuse to some of those recipes again. I love oatmeal cookies and these have a fun twist with the garam masala!!
That's funny! :)
I didn't know what garam masala was until I looked it up - and now I want these! Sounds delicious :)
That's funny--I had a nearly identical experience recently, except I caught my almost-duplication just in time. Too many years of blogging I guess!
What a great use for garam masala! I've never thought of using it in sweet biscuits.
I love the add of garam masala in these cookies. Definitely a must try for me.
Life happens. So much happening at one time. Double posting can be a good thing just in case your readers missed a great recipe.
Take care.

I feel like everyone who's been blogging for a while has done that!
Woah! So glad that you shared it twice. Never knew garam masala could be used in cookies. I have never tried these garam masala cookies, so it is a must try recipe for me.

All the add ins sound so good and garam masala is so unique for cookies. I rarely make the same recipe twice, so I don't typically have that problem, but I can definitely see how it would happen.
Love these unique cookies! And repetition is understandable with your busy schedule! Good luck balancing it all...cookies help!
Hi Beth, I bet these are delicious, love garam masala. Don't worry I think we are all a little forgetful sometimes;)
I have had such a frikkin sweet tooth recently, and those just look way too frikkin good!!! - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
oh, no worries. the good ones deserve a second hit. :)
this is a very interesting recipe--i've definitely never seen or used garam masala in a dessert. worth trying, for sure!
This is my kind of cookie, looks delicious, Beth! I double-posted way back when and learned I have to double check everything I do now. But actually, it might be a good thing, for those who missed it the first time around. Have a great week!
I came really, really close to publishing a duplicate recipe once. Had the post all written and was working on the pictures and thought to myself that the subject seemed oddly familiar. Oops! :-) Anyway, great looking cookies. And a cool way to use garam masala. Thanks!
It happened to me once as well. I took pictures of a dish and edited them before realizing I had posted the exact same recipe more than one year ago... :) This sounds really interesting, making cookies with garam masala, I would love to try them.
Those of us who missed the recipe the first time around were very happy for the repeat :-)

I dont remember this but look absolutely delicious Beth!!
I love the look of these - all that wonderful texture! Pecans, cherries, and chocolate chips? I'm sold! Although I have to admit, I have no idea what garam masala is. (Off to Google it now ...)
The more busy I am the more I forget! It goes with the territory! Your cookies are truly original!
Beth, I've forgotten I blogged recipes or surprised myself with things I included in old pictures in posts! Always fun to look back and see how the mind works :) These cookies with garam masala look delicious and definitely sound unforgettable!!
Well this truly is a different cookie recipe…I never would have thought to add garam masala to cookie dough. Thanks so much for sharing and this is definitely not one you have posted before.
