Hi Tamara- Sorry about my delayed reply.

I’ve always put baked goods with beans in the fridge, because I’ve never felt comfortable leaving them out. I’m talking about the final baked product, not just the dough.

I can’t answer your question (“what are beans susceptible to “catching”…”) because I don’t know. Instead, I’ve made the decision to be prudent and place them in the fridge, then tossing them after about 4 days (although you may not have any leftovers!)

If you like room-temperature cookies, you can warm them in the microwave for about 5 seconds.

Hope this helps!

Hi Micaela: thank you for the recipe – i am about to try it with some minor adjustments to our family,’s needs however, it piqued my motherly paranoia when you mentioned storing the cookies in the fridge because they had beans in them. Now, I must confess to being daft when it comes to beans and contamination – do you mean store the cookies in the fridge or just the dough? What are beans susceptible to “catching” if left out… say… in a cookie jar? Thank you in advance.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad… My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Give yourselves permission to travel more, and enjoy each other. (and eat more aebleskivers!) <– I haven't for a while… Maybe this weekend…

Just found this recipe and baked my first batch this morning. Love the light fluffy texture of these cookies and they taste delicious! Made first batch as per directions provided. Added agave nectar for extra sweetness in the last batch. Thank you so much for sharing!!
