A Baldur’s Gate 3 topic that has come up multiple times with friends is, “was money tight when reaching Act 3?”. Jeff and I never had an issue with money during our playthrough, while a good number of our friends said they struggled a bit with money. I think the major reason for that is Jeff will pick up every item worth anything that is not nailed down. There were many times that he would go through each of the merchants and sell as much stuff as he could whenever they resupplied their cash totals. An item that I think a lot of people skip when picking stuff up is all the art laying around. Those items are so light and sell at a pretty hefty price. It pays to be an art thief!
Since we are already picking most items up during our adventures, every piece of food ends up in our treasure coffers. The amount of food that we collected in our adventures was probably enough for 3 full playthroughs of the game. One of the earliest items that we found were these biscuits. Sure, we had to kill a few bandits and steal them from their pockets, but it was worth it. Looking at the image and the description these immediately reminded me of oatmeal raisin cookies (or biscuits).
The most important part of this is making sure you let the raisins soak in some alcohol overnight. I liked the combination of bourbon and amaretto but you can swap it to your favorite flavored liquor. If you don’t want to use any alcohol, you can replace it with warm water and let it rest for just 30 minutes before draining. I find that hydrating the raisins makes for much more flavorful cookies. On top of the soaked raisins, the brown butter takes these cookies to the next level. I really enjoyed this batch I made and could not stop eating them. If I didn’t share these with neighbors and friends I think I would have eaten all of them on my own.
