It was just like he promised with his prose and his pictures. Everything—from the texture of the dough to the sound of my Kitchenaid. This is the instructional manual I was looking for.
In the mood for a quick hit of success I made short bread cookies after dinner. They are fantastic in every way. They're sweet, crumbly, buttery, and salty. I love them. We're back on track.
The cookies go in the oven as a slab and after they come out, when they're still hot, that's when you cut them. I pulled a chef's knife across the surface, and the dough pulled a little. The edges of the cookies were jagged. I tried pressing down on the knife instead and it worked but was tedious. So I tried my pizza cutter. Perfect.
Success and a beautiful photo! What more could we ask? Now you are making me curious. I am not much of a baker. Maybe I will try a little something for fun! I will probably rise to the level of my photography...adequate. That's ok. At least one may eat cookies!
ReplyDeleteOMG these look AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I still have lots in the kitchen. I think I'm going to have to bring them into work.
