I made cookies today, starting with Jamey's favorite Peanut Blossoms. I also had hoped to make Spritz but couldn't find my cookie press. Finally after searching the house high and low, I found it in the last possible cupboard. Whew. So I'll get to those another day.
I also tried to make sugar cookies in a special pan I bought a few years ago. The spots for the cookies are recessed and have different shapes. The recipe said to press the cookie dough into the cavity, but didn't say anything about how much dough. So I filled each cavity, not thinking about how thick they would be. They ended up being like mini cakes! Obviously not correct, since it took way longer to bake and didn't make as many cookies as the recipe said. So if I try those pans again, I'll have to remember to make them really thin!
So then I made rolled sugar cookies, this time trying out new recipes for both the cookie and the icing. Both turned out fantastic!
