He who controls Spice....

... apparently can make damn good cookies.

Some time ago a good friend had an idea. A wonderful idea. He hosted a Dune party. This involved not one but BOTH versions of Dune, gobs of delicious food, and one of the most magnificently geeky groups of people I have ever had the pleasure of encountering.
In theory, excellent.
In practice? MAGNIFICENT.
Although I must admit that we did not necessarily faithfully watch every moment, the party was an overall success. And as I did not have a blog then, I am writing from the recollection of a sensory extravaganza, the crowning jewel of which I have decided to share with the world (er, *cough* internet?)
I give you, the secret formula for the recipe of the DUNE COOKIE. Ooy-gooy insides surrounded by crisp and crumbly spiced delicious manifested in cookie form. A triumph of baking, although it is unlikely that use will allow the eater to fold space or time.

Dune Cookies
2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 cup butter

1/4 cup white sugar

1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

Stir together graham cracker, flour, cinnamon, soda, salt. Set aside.
Beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar until smooth
Beat eggs into butter mixture one at a time, blending completely before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla.
Combine butter and flour mixtures.
Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 min

Now, with any luck this recipe is not only complete, but correct. Apparently under the influence of these cookies, my handwriting devolved into that of a relatively brain damaged chimp. With three left hands. No, don't ask where the third came from... you don't want to know.
Its ok. I'm better now. In any case, if some mysterious reader actually tries this recipe and finds any problems or improvements, please don't hesitate to share the revelation.
