I am why we can't have nice things.
Ann Summers probably.
I had to google that. I should have expected it, and yet ... and yet ... Yes, maybe I should go make my cookies now.
You go do that. I've corrupted your thread enough for one day.
Corrupted? Perhaps 'sullied' is a better word
I prefer to think of it as "seasoned."
Hey ... so, I just pulled the cardboard things off the new cookie sheets, and on the back there is a recipe for salted chocolate chip cookies. It mostly looks like chocolate chip cookies with sea salt on top—not that there's anything wrong with that—but it calls for cake flour instead of all-purpose. Have any of you ever used cake flour for cookies? I mean, it's FABULOUS for cakes, but ... I feel like I might be bordering on heresy by considering using it for cookies.
I would think it would make the cookie puffy and cake like in texture. Might be something different.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of cakey cookies ... I don't know. On the other hand, the taste of cake flour is so much purer and cleaner than that of all-purpose flour. It's tempting.
Oh, what the hell. I might as well try it. What's the worst that could happen? Bad cookies? O THE HORROR.
I don't know how the Earl Grey shortbread cookies will turn out as a finished product, but the dough is delicious.
Oh, these are good. Not a traditional Christmas cookie, by any means, but really, really lovely. Delicate, fragrant, and pretty.
I'd love to try that with lemon thyme & lavender.
I totally am! Except I don't have nearly enough butter ... could have sworn we had more, but I guess we ate it. I've got to run to the store after dinner.
Also, I actually read the recipe, and I notice it has both all-purpose AND cake flour. So ... interesting. I'm definitely trying it, as I've got a bunch of cake flour that needs to be used anyway.
Molasses cookies are THE bomb.
This thread made me bummed out. I have never received Christmas cookies. I haven't seen one seen I was 18. I should make some and give them away that would be swell.
Yes. Giving them away will give you a boost!
