Am…musings

So far, the Great Cookie Experiment is a rousing success. I made the sugars yesterday … rolled out three large slabs on waxed paper, transferred it to the cookie sheet and baked each one for about a minute or two more than normal. I let it cool a minute or so and then cut them on the cookie sheet. They turned out great and I saved a TON of time.

I still think the “cookie shot” idea mentioned in the Experiment post would be fun and I have all the scraps left. Now, I just need to find Jell-o shot cups or something similar. I’m planning to top half with white glaze and half with chocolate.

Two batches to go … Russian teacakes that I don’t think will work other than in the normal way. They are my mom’s favorites so I’m happy to invest the time. I’m still undecided about the peanut butter blossoms. I’m doubtful the bar pan will work, but I may try it just for fun and go the peanut-butter “cookie shot” route if it’s a disaster. I was actually wondering if pouring a little Bailey’s on the sugars pre-shot might be good … maybe a chocolate liquor on the peanut butters. What else might be good?
