This week's recipe was chosen by Tia of the amazing blog Buttercream Barbie. Go there. You will need this recipe. Like good shortbread, it's not dominated by sugar. Instead, the sweet is balanced with two bitters - cocoa and pepper. It's a delicious, mature cookie. I could eat a plateful. I certainly tried.
When Dorie suggested, in her recipe, to flatten the dough into a rectangle and then roll it into a log, I thought this was the perfect fix for a very sticky batter. She even advised that you make sure the log is solid, so you are not left with a hole in the centre.
Well, I prefer to think of it as a dimple.
Now, don't sit around navel-gazing. Go over to Buttercream Barbie and try out this recipe.
Everyone loves a dimple, they always make one smile, don't they? That and your lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'd share a plate of these with you any day... I was pleasantly surprised with this one! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't even baked these yet and I love the recipe! I have a feeling I'll end up with a few dimples too!
ReplyDeleteYum! Hehe - dimples ;-) Did you get my e-mail? If not, let me know!
ReplyDeleteWho can resist dimpled cookies?
ReplyDeleteI think they look adorable! (It took me a few re-rolls to get it right, I finally just gave up and crossed my fingers). :D
yours look so good!!! great texture. thanks for baking with me.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious, I'll make it soon. Sometimes life gets in the way of good cookies!
ReplyDeleteDimple is much better than Hole in the Center!! They do look delish!!
ReplyDeleteMine had a bit of a hole in the center, too, but they tasted really good.I liked these more than I thought that I would.
ReplyDeleteLOL to navel-gazing :) I could've eaten the entire plate of these cookies too, they were delicious!
ReplyDeleteYes, they were a mature cookie, apparently, since my kids both turned up their noses at them.
ReplyDeleteCute little dimple...
I could dangerously eat a plateful, too. LOVE the dimple cookie! I drizzled mine with melted chocolate. Loved them!
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute dimple :)
ReplyDeleteAnd they are too easy to eat! I ate all but six of the batch...
