I didn't get past the A's while perusing iTunes so these cookies were made to the sounds of the French electronic duo, Air, an Icelandic group, Amina, and a one man project from San Diego, The Album Leaf, all soothing to an ear that has heard too much keyboard clacking at work this week. Ugh.
All the ingredients I am using for this weekend's three selections.
Some seriously well loved parchment paper. Its starting to disintegrate, I might be forced to use (gasp!) new pieces soon!
This is a little creepy
Warning: Colorful bowls were used in the making of these cookies
The stunning metric wonder cup is being put to use again, for the decidedly less stunning "butter flavor" Crisco.
Instead of maple syrup, I used maple cream, which we have an abundance of in tiny jars from various Christmases and other holidays.
I figured that the microwave would turn the thick maple cream into a pourable syrup. I didn't think a minute in the microwave would turn the maple cream into this. Oops.
Yellow bowl in use
Green bowl's turn
Outfitted with a walnut
Camera shy
Red bowl used for display purposes
Milo on the move
Verdict: I'd give these another try. They were a little dry and crunchy, two traits I do not generally like in a cookie, but the flavor was alright. I have to wonder if my destroyed by microwave maple cream was to blame for the texture.

OMG you absolutely need the red bowl from my childhood!
ReplyDeleteMaple cream??? Where can one find such a thing?
ReplyDeleteYour picture of colorful bowls delights me.
My colorful pots that you gave me for my birthday cheer me up at work! I love seeing them; they are very cheerful. The littlest plants didn't make it, but the aloe and the snake's tongues are doing just fine! and after 5 months, I think they have adjusted to the level of care I offer and are out of the Danger Zone, so I'm feeling good about them.
