It only took 4 recipes before my first mental breakdown. I can officially say that I actually dropped a few tears on this one. Today had its ups and downs, and it was definitely WAY down when my first attempt at these cookies were nearly a fail. Mark claims the dough didn't refrigerate long enough, but I claim that the dough was just picking on me. After flouring the surface and rolling, struggling to keep it from sticking, finally attempting to peel it up just to see myself lose half the dough I had lovingly kneaded and stirred until the perfect consistency, I threw it all to the side and shed a few tears. Oh boy, y'all should have seen the looks on Mark and the boys' eyes. By the way, by boys, I mean my two pups Ollie and Jake. I was hesitant to share my flaws, I mean, who would even know? That wouldn't be true to what I am doing though. I want y'all to be there to see the success' as well as the not so successful's. I know I am learning from every mistake, and would love if y'all are following along with me.
#mess
#fail - definitely did not let it refrigerate long enough - ran all over, practically before I even put it in the oven...
Finally, success!
The main recipe did not call for icing, but Paula's tip at the bottom was to serve with icing if you are having guests. It gives it that extra "umph." Good advice ;)
4 down.
