ELOTES

"Can you make a cookie with more Mexican ingredients?"

 

I love a challenge, so I took this one on. Rather than go with a path already tread, I decided to head to my local Mercado and do some browsing. In the flour aisle, I saw they had masa flour, which is made from ground corn soaked in limewater. I thought of what I could make with that, and decided to go for a Mexican Street Corn cookie. I originally started with doble crema, but it produced a very dry cookie, so I ended up switching to making it a vegan cookie, by adding in avocado and banana instead. With a little bit of lime oil and ancho chili powder it is reminiscent of the flavor you can find from any elotes cart.
