Making these cookies reminded me of a first date you think went well and then he never calls. Why? What did I do wrong? You go over every detail in your mind. Did I mix the paste and sugar too long? Or too short? Should I have sifted the confectioner's sugar even though it didn't say to? Is it the weather, the star alignments? WHAT? I Just can't figure it out. Baffled at the outcome (bottom picture is what they SHOULD look like, top is what happened). Such high hopes, wasted time and money( Almond paste $11!).
The dough was runny, bumpy and lumpy (Not smooth, soft and tacky). I had to dump all the pine nuts inside, mix and spoon Tbsp unto parchment. Baked two batches (9 each) at a time (1st and 3rd rack, might as well try it, nothing to loose at this point). Total baking time 16 minutes. Overall, chewy and sticky.
188 to Go!
PS: Did not make Graham Crackers because I could not find graham flour anywhere. I will make them when doing key lime tart on page 261 which gives me some time to find it. (If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it)
