Most might think it is a nuisance to have their neighbor’s cat traipsing through their yard on a regular basis, but not me.

The people that live across the street from us have always had a cat.  In fact, we used to feed and play with it when they went on their vacations, but that got to be a lot of work as they are retired and travel frequently.  No judgement, good for them, but we didn’t always have the time to go over every single day for weeks on end.

We haven’t kept in very good touch with them over the years and I wasn’t really sure whether they still had the same cat or a cat at all.

Then Dad mentioned the cat coming over to visit occasionally.  I hadn’t seen it, but desperately wanted to.  I’ve always been a cat person, so have Mom and Dad.  I grew up with a cat, and sometimes would like one now, but I never take the plunge.

Over the summer I had my first Phil sighting.  Dad told me that’s his name based on hearing the owner call for him when he wanders off, which is pretty much every single time they let him outside it seems.  Mom spotted Phil on the deck, casually prancing around and looking over the edge to rocks below.  Rocks he clearly wanted to investigate as he climbed down the deck stairs and walked all the way around to the rocks, where he pounced on things.

I happily watched him while Mom called his owner to retrieve him, not because we weren’t both enjoying the show, but because we didn’t want the owner to worry.

Another day we opened the garage to take a walk and found Phil right in the driveway.  He looked at us and meowed every time we spoke to him.  then with a little chasing from Mom, he ran across the street to his drive.

Just a few days ago, we were coming home from the cider mill and the garage opening and car engine must have frightened Phil, who I didn’t even realize had come to visit.  He ran like the wind until he reached his drive and owner at which point be slowed to his normal gait and pretended like nothing was wrong.  “No, I wasn’t in the neighbor’s yard again and almost just run over by a car.”

It’s rather surprising the kind of happiness just spotting Phil brings me.  it has been cloudy and cold and rainy for days and just seeing this fluffy cat makes me smile every single time.  Phil, you are welcome to visit whenever you want 🙂

Cookies also make me happy, and I bet all of you agree with that.  Flourless Chocolate Cookies are a super easy to make, gluten free dessert that is so perfect for the holiday season that will be upon us in no time flat.  Just a few simple ingredients leave you with a cookie with a crinkly outside and rich, chewy inside, basically cookie heaven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  • ¾ cup carob or cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup carob or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Oil the parchment lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. The sifting is important in this recipe because you really do not want any lumps. Mix in the egg whites and egg, as well as the vanilla. Finally stir in the chips.
  3. Scoop the cookie batter in heaping tablespoons onto the cookie sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes until shiny and cracked on top. Cool completely on pans before carefully prying off the parchment.
  4. Cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

    We have a cat that visits us, too, Edward. Edward drives Izzy nuts—we know he’s near when she has a barking fit! Your cookies look phenomenal!

    I printed this recipe right away. I love any flourless cake or cookie. These days I am off sugar so I will save this for a later date but they look amazing!! I remember your cat and although we are dog people, I do like cats and I liked yours and my mother-in-law’s cat. My brother-in-law took the cat when his mom passed and she is doing fine in his family which has two dogs. He tells me she rules the roost over the dogs….LOL!

    I have never had a cat but I find them so interesting. I find my self sharing cat videos all the time on FB and my husband makes fun of me. So I like cats. Just the other while walking our son and dog to the bus stop we noticed that one of mothers had a guard cat. He stayed up on the hill while they waited for the bus and once his owner came up to him and relaxed and walked home with her. He wanted to make sure they were ok while waiting for the bus. It was extremely cool to me. Anyway, your cookies look lovely and I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like so I’ll have to try them out real soon!

    Aww–love your Phil story! That’s the cutest–keeping an eye on the neighbor’s cats was always one of my favorite pastimes as well. And I’m SO glad you’ve shared these cookies because I cannot get enough of the crackly tops in flourless chocolate cookies. Yaaaaaas!

    We never let our cat out because we know she’d be visiting the entire neighborhood. 🙂 Anyway, great cookies — who can resist chocolate? Thanks!
