These cookies almost didn't make it to the blog. I thought I was being so efficient, making them in advance, being ready to photograph and post on time. They went over so big that I sent whatever was leftover from Friday night dinner, home with my daughter. Suddenly realizing I hadn't photographed even one cookie, I quickly called her and asked if any were left. Yes! Save a few , I asked, and I'll come over tomorrow morning to take a few shots before they disappear into my granddaughter's stomach!
And so it was. These cookies really were delicious, easy to make and have a beautiful warm, deep flavor. The recipe calls for a vanilla filling, which I'm sure is perfect with it, and I will try it next time. This time, I took a short cut and used some the leftover butter cream from a previous recipe, that I had frozen. I defrosted the butter cream and re-whipped to fluff it back up -worked just wonderfully. It's definitely worth freezing frosting if you have leftover- you never know when it may come in handy.
Glad your daughter saved the day! Your cookies look delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look great. Love the cup and saucer in your pic. Very pretty. They are perfect with a nice cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look delicious! The butter cream filling sounds really good as well. Anything's good with butter cream :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your pic...very yummy looking cookies. And I agree about keeping buttercream frosting on hand...I usually have 2 or 3 varieties in my fridge at all times...I seem to need a variety or two every week and it's nice to have it already prepared...makes projects like these cookies much quicker fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to photograph meals when we've had dinner parties! I remember all the way through until we plate the meal!
ReplyDeleteWell, you saved the day, in the end! These were really good!
I have given all the goodies away before snapping pics too! Your cookies look delicious!
ReplyDeleteOkay...you are not a grandmother...no way! Your cookies look delicious, by the way.
