Cookie dough is temperamental

[wiseheart]

No matter how many times you've done it, there's no guarantees it will turn out well the next time. Last year (and the year before), when I made these nougat and cinnamon balls, they were perfectly round and smooth like a baby's bottom. Today, the dough broke every time I tried to shape it, and the pathetic little parcels I managed to form don't even resemble balls. I have no idea why - I did everything the same way as before. But that's cookie dough for you, unfortunately.

Other than the crippled little cookies, I made the grocery shopping that didn't get done yesterday, we had laundry day and I cooked lunch. I even squeezed in a bit of writing, but other than that I was pretty much flattened. Ah well, I'll decorate the cookies tomorrow and will cook for two days in advance so that I can bake the next two batches (different kinds) on Monday. *fingers crossed*

Annoying, isn't it?

Lol. You'll have to call them nougat and cinnamon crumbles.

Actually, after I've generously lathered them with chocolate icing and decorated them with marzipan stars and hazelnut krokant, they almost look like balls now. 😋

Wrinkled bottoms now? Oh my :))

Life goes on — even for cookies. ;)
