Kuni's Cookies

No news to anyone in Buffalo that Kuni’s To Go sells fantastic sushi from its relatively new and completely adorable location on Lexington. But did you know that they also carry a small selection of Japanese groceries? When I say small, I mean really small, but nonetheless appealing. You can buy pickled ginger, soy sauce and other sushi accompaniments like chopsticks and tableware. They also have a cute selection of sweets, most of which are made of rice flour.

I’ve become addicted to these beauties (pictured above), a cookie quite unlike anything I’ve had before. Made of rice flour, they are crisp and light as air. The flavor profile of the biscuit itself is slightly salty which is augmented by the sweet maple icing on the top. They really are an experience, and I’ve greatly enjoyed watching people taste them for the first time. They come in a large bag for $3.69. Each bag contains 10-12 individually wrapped two-packs.

I think I’ve found one of the best ways to use them, short of simply consuming the entire bag yourself while typing away in the middle of the night. I strongly recommend that you consider serving them crumbled atop a quality vanilla ice cream at a dinner party this summer. Here again, the maple and hint of salt can really transform the simple vanilla ice cream, and the added crunch is just another bonus. Make sure to use 1 or 2 cookies per serving, a simple dusting will just not do. Now, that’s a dessert that is inexpensive, fuss-free, unique and over the top delicious.
