The half recipe that ruined a whole recipeSo, the raspberry bars didn’t turn out as great as I expected… so, I was still searching for that festive fruit cookie. I did some searching and found a recipe from Emeril for lemon and raspberry thumbprint cookies. Fruity and festive. Jackpot.
Well, the thing is… they aren’t that great. I mean, they’re good. But they’re not like… wow, whats the recipe? (That’s my gauge on whether something is good or not.. if I know people will be asking for the recipe, then its good). Luckily, I only made a half batch. Now, immediately after making this half batch. I intended to make a full batch of Hidden Kisses cookies, little powdered sugar cookies with Hershey kisses inside. But, I ended up halving some of the ingredients (like the flour) and using the whole amount of other ingredients (like the butter). And I didn’t realize that this was the problem until the 3rd sheet was in the oven. Yuck they were so greasy and spread out.. such a waste. Such a disappointment… Maybe bad baking experiences come in 3s and I got them all out of my system in 2 days?
Raspberry Lemon Thumbprint Cookies
I'm sorry, I really shouldn't be giggling at this post but my oh my how your kitchen fumble sounded like something I'm so often doing. Don't you just hate it when you discover your mistake three trays afterwards. And I really like the way you judge cookies: by wanting the recipe... pretty neat idea.
ReplyDeleteTruly enjoyed this post had just HAD to comment on it. (I found my way in here looking for a thumprint cookie recipe by the way).
