[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

2. Helps Prevent Hearing Loss and Balance
3. Staves Off Infections
4. Protects the Skin from Ultraviolet Exposure
5. Decreases Erectile Dysfunction
6. Reduces Inflammation

We are obsessed with Christina Tosi’s Momofuku milk bar, everything from her birthday cake truffles, to her crack pie, and her German chocolate jimbo cake, but the treat that’s arguably the most well known are her compost cookies made with all of your favorite salty snacks. Just in case you don’t have a trip planned to NYC anytime soon, learn how to make these addictive cookies at home!

RECIPE:

Momofuku’s Compost Cookies
From Momofuku Milk Bar by Christina Tosi

For graham cracker crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup milk powder
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup heavy cream

For cookies:
16 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons glucose or corn syrup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini butterscotch chips
1/2 cup graham cracker crust
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 1/2 teaspoons ground coffee
2 cups potato chips
1 cup mini pretzels

To make graham cracker crust: In a bowl mix together graham cracker crumbs, milk powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.

Whisk together melted butter and heavy cream and then add to dry ingredients and keep mixing until incorporated. Extra crust can be stored for 1 week at room temperature or up to 1 month wrapped tightly in the refrigerator or freezer.

To make cookies: In a stand up mixer combine butter, sugar, light brown sugar, and glucose on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and add egg and vanilla extract. Keep mixing for 7 to 8 minutes.

Reduce speed to low and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough just comes together, about a minute, and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Still on low speed add the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, graham cracker crust, oats, and coffee and mix until incorporated. Add the potato chips and pretzels last and be careful to not over mix or break up the pretzels or potato chips too much.

Portion out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in 2 ounce balls. Wrap sheet pan tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 week before baking.

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Arrange chilled dough a minimum of 4 inches apart on a parchment or silicon baking mat-lined sheet tray. Bake for 18 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and are faintly browned at the edges.

Cool cookies completely on the sheet tray before transferring to a plate or airtight container. At room temperature the cookies will keep for 5 days or up to 1 month in the freezer.
