St. Martin's Day

[wiseheart]

On which we did not have a goose. We had - sorry, noadvertising! - cauliflower casserole, baked in the oven, since I already had the oven hot and working. I gave this recipe a try, and produced these guys:



I intended to make them as part of my Christmas baking but wanted to check out the recipe first, just in case. Well, the things are yummy but need a bit more sugar - even Mum said so, who likes her cookies a lot less sweet than I. So, next time I'll add one tablespoon of sugar more, as well as chocolate icing, and I thing they'll be perfect that way.

I also made chessboard biscuits that ended up not looking like chessboards at all (I got the thickness of the individual pieces wrong) but they'll have to do. It's a lot of work, and I'm not ready to repeat the experience, so I'll simply pretend that I actually wanted them look the way they do. *g*

I also had to make lunch, as mentioned above, plus we had laundry day, so I'm pretty much done in for the day.

Chessboard cookies tend to spread quite a bit. I did them in a former life, when I had next to no free time but insisted that I wanted them. Well, turned out that I did not like them- too dry, too bland...

I quite like them, especially with added vanilla (white parts) and rum (dark parts). The annoying thing is that I've made them at least once, and back then they looked as they were supposed to.

Coffee biscuits sound good!

They are very good indeed — and so easily made!

That's a lot of 'kitchening' for one day. Go you!

I enjoy the baking part... usually. When the bakes turn out how they are supposed to.

Oh they look wonderful!

As I said, they require more sugar and a good icing. Which I'll add to them next time.

The cookies look yummy, even though they did not turn out as you expected.
