Random facts and canon tidbits from Heroes’ Feast: The Official D&D Cookbook

Dwarven cuisine doesn’t use many spices because dwarves have extra-sensitive taste buds and can detect complicated flavors in simple dwarven dishes like potato leek soup and corned beef and cabbage.

Halfling dishes include community cheeses (cheese fondue), melted cheeses (grilled cheese), oatmeal sweet nibbles (oatmeal cookies), and hogs in bedrolls (pigs in a blanket).

One recipe, Elven Bread, is said to be able to sustain an adventurer for a full day with only one bite. No, it’s not like any other fictional elven breads from famous high fantasy worlds. It’s cinnamon-swirled!

Speaking of totally original, legally distinct fantasy concepts, halfling meals include “second morningfeast.”

Dragonborns live in communal clans and eat mostly meat. As a result, they invented Brazilian barbecue. (Be careful when attending one, though, as some of the meat is from humanoids.)

Tieflings are the opposite of dwarves: their taste buds are charred, so they prefer extremely strong flavors. They also have a high spice tolerance, to the point where most tiefling spices could kill a human.

Half-orcs, being nomadic scavengers, often eat insects and grubs. Sometimes, they fry them or drizzle them in chocolate.

The book includes menus for restaurants on four different worlds. The menu for The Yawning Portal, a Forgotten Realms restaurant, offers four types of cheese. Checking the Forgotten Realms Wiki, I found that all four cheeses are from previous canon material, but the funniest one is Luiren Spring, which, according to the wiki, is a hard drug for halflings.

Halfling Oatmeal Sweet Nibbles

Makes about 45 cookies

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 2 Cups rolled oats, 1 Teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 Teaspoon kosher salt, 1 1/2 Cups packed light brown sugar, 1 Cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, 1 Egg, beaten, 2 Teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1 Cup semisweet chocolate chips, 1 Cup butterscotch chips.

Preheat the oven to 350. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick (silicone) liners.

In a bowl, stir together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar and butter until light and creamy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

Scoop the dough by the rounded tablespoon and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. You'll need to bake a second batch of cookies because they won't all fit on the 2 baking sheets. (It's ok to reuse the parchment paper).

Bake for 15 minutes, rotating the positions of the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown and a little darker around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Note: Smaller cookies will affect the cook time and later batches will cook noticeably faster if you are using the same baking sheet. For softer cookies, try cutting the cook time by a quarter.

Halfling Oatmeal Sweet Nibbles

“Dense with oats, chocolate chips, and butterscotch, these diminutive cookies are perfect for halfling hands… and the stomachs of everyone.”- Heroes’ Feast, p. 128

Whether you’re looking to make tasty treats for yourself or something sweet for a bake sale - cookies are the ultimate go-to. With so much deliciousness packed into something that’s simple to make, they’re the perfect choice!

The chocolate-butterscotch chip cookies from Heroes’ Feast will knock your socks off when you try them! Served at room temperature, these little guys are the perfect combination of crunchy on the outside and soft, chocolaty goodness on the inside.

They’re also the perfect addition to any lunchbox! Their small size makes them easy to nibble on and easier to share! So, why not impress friends, both old and new, with a batch of these bad boys? They’re sure to be a hit!

See below for my notes on the results and for some helpful tips and tricks when making this yourself! Get Heroes’ Feast here: https://dnd.wizards.com/heroes-feast

Prep Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 55 mins Overall: 60 mins

For the ingredients*:

1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

2 cups (180 g) rolled oats

1 tsp. (1.25 g) baking soda

½ tsp. (3 g) kosher salt

1 ½ cups (255 g) packed light brown sugar

1 cup (128 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 egg, beaten

2 tsp. (10 ml) pure vanilla extract

1 cup (150 g) semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup (150 g) butterscotch chips

* Heroes’ Feast says that this makes ~45 cookies. I made 40.

First, I preheated the oven to 350℉ (177℃) and lined two large baking trays with parchment paper. You’re going to be baking 2 trays at a time, so move both of your oven racks to the middle of the oven (one in one set of grooves and the other directly below it). It will look like a tight space, but the tray and cookies will fit!

Next, I whisked together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and kosher salt in a bowl.

In a large bowl, I started by beating the butter and brown sugar until well combined (upper-left). Then, I added the egg and vanilla extract and whisked until smooth (upper-right).

Once the wet ingredients were combined, I stirred in the dry ingredients (upper-left). Then, added the chocolate and butterscotch chips and mixed until they were well-distributed (upper-right).

To bake the cookies, I scooped rounded tablespoons of batter and placed each one on the baking tray 2 inches apart (upper-left). I baked them for 15 minutes, rotating the positions of the pans halfway through.

Heroes’ Feast advises that smaller cookies will take less time to cook and that reusing trays will significantly cut the cooking time - so keep an eye on later batches.

I misread the directions for the first tray (left tray in upper-left) and rolled the batter after scooping it instead of just placing it on the tray. You can see how they turned out differently in the upper-right picture. They have much more of a smooth “traditional” cookie shape to them as opposed to the cookies on the right tray that look more rustic and bumpy. More about my thoughts on this in the results section.

After the cookies baked, I let them cool on the tray for around 3 minutes and then transferred them to a wire rack. I repeated this process until I ran out of batter.

Overall, I would give these cookies a 5/5. They are incredibly rich and the perfect cure for any sweet tooth. Due to the large amount of sugar in them, I don’t recommend eating them with Hot Cocoa Broth (p.188). Rather, they make a great snack while enjoying a cup of black tea (red rose, earl grey) or coffee.

As mentioned in a previous step, I rolled out the batter for the cookies on one of the trays before placing them. In my opinion, I prefer the ones made this way over just placing them on the tray. Rolling the batter allows for more structure and gives the cookies a nice soft interior.

To keep them fresh, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week - though you’ll want to give them a few minutes to warm up on the counter before snacking!

FUN FACT: These cookies were so popular in my house that I only had five cookies left by the time I took the first and last pictures! (I started with 40!)
