Welcome back to the Chaotic Cooky Kitchen, where it turns out I should never suggest that I’m back on track. It turns out, this thing called “Life” can intrude sometimes, and while I baked these right on schedule, the rest of the process has been delayed a bit. Anyway, this time we’re on to a new section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolled Cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As usual, we start with the ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
As basic as it is, there are more ingredients than you might think.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, we start by mixing up the wet ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Looks like bad clown makeup with misplaced eyes.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After a bit of whisking, things should come together a bit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
It’s not as lumpy as it looks. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, because I’m paranoid, I added flour by weight (no sifting this time), and the rest of the dry ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Noir-lit dry ingredients, apparently.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mix it all together, and what do you get? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
What did you expect?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then off to the fridge (or garage, if your garage is a big fridge part of the year) for one hour or (in my case) overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Chilling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, pretty much do what you’d expect to do with a rolled cookie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Even chilled, this dough was stickier than I expected.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bake these for less than 10 minutes, but watch them like a hawk, because they cross from underdone to sorta-kinda-overdone in about 10ms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Does my oven have a temperature gradient? You betcha! <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you do all that, you’ll be rewarded with something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
You’re excited; I can tell.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Verdict: C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well, these could use a bit of frosting at least. They’re not flavor-bombs, but they’re a bit crisper than I’d expect, and a nice subtle sugar cookie isn’t a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
