I was all ready to kick it into high gear and get a couple of recipe variations baked today. I bought a Belgium chocolate bar to chop into chunks for my upscale cookies also. We were going to get it done.
1st tried to chop up the chocolate bar but only ground it up fine. Opps didn’t mean to do that! Next made a batch of the Almond Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and they were fine. Then made a variation of the Almond Butter cookies but as I took them off the rack I knew something was very wrong. Just touching a cookie would cause it to crush into meal, my fingers covered with cookie. Then I knew: I’d forgotten to add an egg. YIKES. And I had more in the oven. Well we ended up throwing the entire batch away.
I then started making another batch of Almond Butter cookies but as I was adding the Almond meal I hit the measuring cup on something and meal went everywhere. Twinkle came running in looking for treats and she found lots on the floor. I forgot how much meal I’d put into the mixing bowl so just put in what I thought was right. Cookies turned out good but I’m not sure of measurements so have to start over.
I’d planned to send out more cookies on Monday but now found that I’m out of almond butter and nearly out of meal. Best laid plans. But a good lesson was learned here today: have a check list if we do this big time. We would lose way too much by forgetting an ingredient.
