Will be baking them next week, and I already picked up the food markers. Eleven years ago: Zuni Cafe’s Roast Chicken + Bread Salad Honestly, I was ashamed to admit I make my cookies with cold butter. The World Peace Cookie lives up to its name: If everyone had it, peace would reign o’er the planet. So good! I doubled recipe and they came together and rolled like magic. Think I might have overdosed on the butter, and my oven is hotter than it says- but my cookies just dissolved into chocolatey pools of goo. the goal is NOT to fit into the brand new, too-expensive work suit. (I just have to share these.). I only refrigerated for an hour and really feel that’s plenty time. You never fail to impress and make me laugh. My original intention was to do what I typically do when I want to make something gloriously unhealthy but limit my intake of it — bring the remainders to work, foisting the calories on those youthful things with whom I share cubicle walls. is it just me, or will other people be having similar difficulties having anything left to put in the oven? I used two kinds of sprinkles here (I’ll link to options at the end), pinched them on messily and inconsistently and I’m absolutely at peace with the results. They are incredibly good, hence I won’t ever be making these again – at least not for me – since I can’t seem to restrain myself. But I will definitely try the royal icing on them this year. Thank you for sharing! My roommate snagged the refrigerator butter so I pulled two sticks from the freezer at most an hour or two before starting the cookies. Working with one half at a time, shape the dough into logs that are 1 1/2 inches in diameter. 4. 1/2 tsp baking soda You know, just to be on the safe side.” So I did. Thanks so much for sharing! Thank you, thank you!! The dough looked and tasted identical but the cookies did not turn out- the dough spread and I had a flat unappealing crispy mess. P.S. I followed this recipe to a T and I think the cookies are delicious!!! I cannot wait to try this recipe. They turned out delicious and my guests loved them. Opps! Should I have let the dough sit for an hour? :-) So I find myself looking up recipes and sorting through for the most straightforward if I know I’ll be baking with her. Maybe some butters have different water content? Definitely not too sweet considering all the bitter cocoa powder and chocolate in it. I’d rather just use a traditional method and know what I’m getting in to rather than be told it’s ‘easy’ and spend twice as long on it. Arrange the rounds on the baking sheets, leaving about one inch between them. I thought I made cookies that make other cookies jealous. made these for dessert to go with pre fast meal and more for break fast tomorrow night. Also, either I put on too much icing or the recipe didn’t give enough icing. Now I want to find a pan to make a higher loaf. Adapted from Smitten Kitchen's recipe (which is adapted from Dorie Greenspan / Pierre Herme's korova cookies). This recipe tastes better and is so much easier. Turn off the mixer. They are SO fricking good! Oh shoot! They always bake up uber-chocolatey, sandy, and melt-in-the-mouth mm-mm-good. Open to anyone’s ideas. Without having done any testing, I would think that coconut cream would work really well and likely make a thicker frosting. I forced it into a log shape with some plastic wrap and put it in the fridge and then when I tried to slice it, it all just crumbled apart. Best of luck. Second- My boyfriend lives far-ish away and I want to send him some treats. You’re hurting me!! I just wanted to let you know that I’ve made these cookies 4 times in the last 2 weeks. thank you for it all. ), but no longer! I don’t know how many recipes you’ve tried, but I’ve found good success with the vast majority of her recipes, and she’s gotten me to try making things I never thought I would be able to. Certified, bonded, as well as guaranteed for your assurance. With that and soft butter, the dough comes together and the cookie structure is that of a sablé. Thank you for this idea. I did not get 36 cookies out of the recipe, more like 24.
