I too am from New Mexico. Last lived in Capitan/Fort Stanton so I know what you mean by only a few grocery stores. We didn't even have 3 and definitely no Wal-Mart when I lived there. I make thumbprint cookies every year for Christmas but will give your recipe a try. Thanks Hi – got onto this website by accident but saw your cookies and decided to read. I too am from New Mexico.

I didn't feel it needed any, while others did! Either way - they were great cookies - and love how wide yours spread. They look fantastic! Mine tended to stay upright. I'm with the others - I'll take a shipment of brisket anyday! How funny about the salt… I didn’t feel it needed any, while others did!

BUT I'm pretty sure there are ways to get very good loose-leaf tea and nuts of all varieties online (for a price). Here, if you're not resourceful enough to know which shops sell what (we do have a specialty nut shop in some malls, for example, but it's really a cart and they tend to move around), you're going to have to know a guy who knows a guy, etc. Oh, shucks.

No. There are not small stores either. There is a butcher, but their selection, oddly, is no better than the grocery store. There is also a small natural food store - it's mostly vitamins and supplements, but I have picked up some nice ingredients there (whole wheat pastry flour, quinoa, pearl barley), although they're pricey.

Are there independent merchants, such as a butcher or a small pastry shop, that can provide you with more ingredients even though the per-unit cost is higher? All the Wal-Marts I've been to uniformly suck, honestly, in terms of groceries. The only raw materials there are flour, and maybe sugar. Maybe. Hmm, I’m not familiar with the area.

Bummer about the grocery store situation. I don't have the best selection here either, but it sounds like it's slightly better than yours.

So sorry to hear about the store situation. I'm spoiled as well. Lots of good stores in a short radius. Those look excellent! So sorry to hear about the store situation. I’m spoiled as well.
