But as usual I ran into some technical difficulties: this time with the crisscrosses. Those little suckers just wouldn’t stay put. I push my tines deep into the cookie dough, but the baked cookies showed hardly a hint of a PB’s cookie signature mark. Anyone else have this problem? I wonder if my dough was too soft, or if I should have refrigerated the cookie dough after making the tine impressions??? Who knows... Life is a mystery. But with the marks or without, these were some darn good cookies.
I also made a batch with mini chocolate chips. They were good, but not as good as the “classic” version.
Update on the job front: Today is my first day at the new job! Yeah! I can’t wait to get started. The last few months (since the layoffs were announced) have been traumatic and depressing. I lost a lot of hair from the stress, gained 15 pounds, and had constant headaches that bordered on migraines. The last six months have not been fun. But hopefully all my “angst” is over and life can get back to normal. Fingers crossed.
Your cookies look delicious! Congrats on the new job.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look wonderful. I don't know if you dipped the tines of the fork in flour before you pressed on the cookie, but if you didn't, that might help next time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any trouble with the criss crosses, but I overcooked mine. I think yours look great. I see the crosses in them!!
ReplyDeletehow lovely yours look - i can see the sugar from here :)
ReplyDeleteMy version of these is PB and White Chocolate thumprints. Great job this week!
Wow...I truly hope that all goes smoothly foe you at the new job! I had that little issue with the crisscross, too. Still tasty, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy this day has come ! Hope all the best for you !!
ReplyDeleteToo bad the chocolate chip version didn't work out so well, but they all look great!
ReplyDeleteCookies look wonderful, look forward to trying. Not too sure about why your fork tins don't stay.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new job!
