Good Morning!
A quick post as I've got a busy work morning.
Here are the cookies I made yesterday. They were ok. Not great, but good. I think there were too many pretzel bits in the recipe (it called for 3 cups of broken mini pretzels...probably 2 cups would have been better). The sea salt caramel truffels are good, but when they melt it gets pretty messy on the cookie sheets and some of the caramel oozed out and burned. I guess all in all I'd rather eat a Take Five bar (plus...more chocolate that way!). But, it was fun to make something different. Fletch likes them.
It was great to see Colin & Mailing again last night - we had not seen them since their wedding on October 10th! They look good and it was a nice evening for a fire. We sat out from around 8 p.m. till 10 p.m. and by then I was pretty tired, so we headed home.
That will do it for me. Have a great Thursday and a wonderful weekend.
It's a sad day when cookies are just ok! They sounded so good, but I'm not sure I'll buy the sea salt caramel truffles even if I see them. I hope your next batch of cookies is far better and enjoy a Take Five bar!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure even just-okay cookies are still better than no cookies at all, but all the same I'm sorry these didn't quite live up to your expectations. I guess it's probably better to eat those caramel truffles straight than to bake with them!
ReplyDeleteLet the recipe tweaking begin! Did the pretzels stay crunchy? That would be a big concern for me. I'm not a big caramel fan, so maybe butterscotch and chocolate chips and pretzels would be a good substitute in the recipe, providing the same flavours.
ReplyDeleteFun to try a new recipe even if it was less than a 10 star.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
Mediocre cookies are still COOKIES!!! And . . . some cookies is better than no cookies at all.
ReplyDeleteHope you have an easy-going day.
As long as someone likes them, it's a win!
ReplyDeleteThey look good to me!
ReplyDeleteHello, Vera
ReplyDeleteI think your cookies looks yummy. I would eat them! What is a take five? Take care, enjoy your day!
I made chocolate chip pumpkin cookies today, mostly because I couldn't find those sea salt chocolate chips anywhere!
ReplyDeleteMmmm..those look good. I like new recipes for cookies. And you can't beat fresh out of the oven cookies.
ReplyDeleteI was dreaming of sour cream jumbles and then saw your cookies. I hope I can make it to the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look yummy. Any exciting tales from the newlyweds? ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious to me. Anything sweet or chocolatey is on my menu right now. Stress does that to me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see your family!!!!! Mmmm Any cookie will do!
