This week Jasmine of Jasmine Cuisine chose Dorie's Peanut Butter Crisscrosses. I've made these before actually (funnily enough when I was pregnant last time) so for yet another week I made the variation.Unfortunately, something went a little awry and these were nothing like what they were supposed to be. Dorie's photo (and my last attempt) were these big, chewy cookies you could really sink your teeth into. My choc version made flat, soft and cakey cookie pancakes.
Admittedly I left out the peanuts which would have given them some more substance but the cookie mix itself was sooooo soft. I chilled the dough before baking but it didn't seem to help.
They still tasted pretty good and there aren't many left. But I can't work out whether that's because they were nice or because at 30 weeks pregnant I am gimme! gimme! gimme! when it comes to any sort of bakery product and therefore not a good judge.
So make sure you check out Jasmine's blog for the recipe and the other TWD bakers here. I'm sure they had much more success than I did!
Nope, mine turned out really soft too. But hey, as you said, they tasted good anyway.
ReplyDeleteThey look great. I have to make the choco variation soon!
ReplyDeleteWell, they look good to me. Hope you are feeling fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look great! I can't wait to bake up the chocolate version!
ReplyDeleteMine were soft too.
ReplyDeleteI really like them.
Mine were really crunchy, when I wanted soft! These look great with the chocolate, though.
ReplyDelete:)
Mine were not chewy at all, and I wish they had been. Mine were thick and very crispy. But now I'm thinking I should have added chocolate . . . .
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry they didn't turn out the way you hoped they would. Mine were a little crunchy so I must have overcooked them. But at least you know what they are supposed to taste like!!
ReplyDeleteaww too bad they didn't taste as good as they look!
ReplyDeleteMy version of these is PB and J thumprints. Great job this week!
a chocolate version was such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteCiao ! My dough was very soft too, I love your results !
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate version sounds good too. Your cookies look really good to me! I love this recipe!
