To prepare for this recipe, I watched a quick tutorial on-line on how to use a cookie press cause I’m such a rookie. It was helpful and thanks again to Sharon for lending me another baking tool! The dough was so simple to prepare but I have been cursed a couple of times messing up the rather easy recipes. This one didn’t avoid the curse. I accidentally grabbed the wrong teaspoon and added double the amount of salt – yuck, yuck, yuck. An unrecoverable error! On to batch two – perfect but not enough time to bake so into the fridge to wait.
At 10 pm, I stuck my cookie sheets in the refrigerator for 5 minutes prior to pressing out cookies. Apparently, this trick helps the cookies stick to the pan for easy release. I re-whipped the dough to get it back to a soft consistency. It only took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to press out cookies and they came out so cute and charming. I didn’t spend much time decorating these as I am not fully recovered from the painted Sour Cream cookies.

I REALLY like the chocolate chips in the middle of the cookies - I've never tried that before! Did you add them after they came out of the oven?
ReplyDeletePhoebe,
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. Such cute little shapes. Nice job on the spritzer. Sorry about the salt mishap.

Actually, I added the chocolate chips before they went into the oven and surprisingly they didn't melt down.
ReplyDeletePhoebe, again I am impressed by your ingenuity, the tutorial was a great idea and I love the chocolate chip in the middle. Chilling the baking sheet is a great idea because sometimes mine wouldn't stick. It's always fun for me to learn something new. Lovely job as always.
