Since I am a sad soul and does not have anything to do on this exciting day, I will just write an update on a recent recipe I tried.
I know, I know, the holidays have already passed, but I just had to make cookies yesterday since I bought two new cookie cutters from Sur La Table in Newport. These cute little cookie cutters are probably my new favorite! They even had rainbow whisks, unfortunately they were too expensive.
Onward to the baking!
Pros
+ cookies came out nicely
+ color was the same
+ nice and crunchy
Cons
- required golden syrup which I didn't want to use
- sugar burned
- not enough flavor
- pricey
From my previous post, I said that I had finally found Golden Syrup for about $8 which was pretty expensive for a small tin can. So for this recipe, I was a little cheater and only used 3Tbsp of Golden Syrup and 2Tbsp of corn syrup. This seemed okay, since the melted ingredients came out fine.
Yes, stupid me, burned the sugar. I have a bad habit of turning the fire on really high and just leaving it to heat up whatever is on the stove. I turned my back for just a few seconds to find a bowl and my brown sugar started to burn! I just had to work around it and fish out the burnt pieces. Also, not all the sugar melted...
The flavor may have been light since not all the sugar was incorporated into the mixture or there was just too little ground ginger. However, you could still taste the ginger in the cookies which is great!
Suggestions and solutions are always welcome 8)
Happy New Year!
