This week Mike of Ugly Food Dude selected Thumbprints For Us Big Guys on page 164. I can’t say that thumbprint cookies have ever been a favorite of mine, but I was looking forward to giving these ones a shot. Primarily because cookies are nicely portable and easy to share with my co-workers whom I have been horribly neglecting on the baking front recently.
Here we are on Tuesday again; this time of year time compresses and I can’t explain where each week went. This week’s TWD assignment is Buttery Jam Cookies selected by Heather of Randomosity and the Girl. This is another one of those recipes that I wouldn’t have dreamed of picking myself – no chocolate and I despise apricots (I can’t explain it, but I have simply never liked them). But there again, why did I join TWD – to continue making the same types of recipes I always choose for myself? I think not.
So I opened Dorie’s book to page 80, buckled down, and made these cookies with only a couple of modifications…
Having just returned from my honeymoon late Sunday night, I wasn’t sure if I was going to return to TWD this week or not. Then I saw that the recipe selected by Piggy of Piggy’s Cooking Journal was one that I had never tried before – rugelach. I decided I was up for the challenge after all, so here I am!
Rugelach is not only something I have never made before, but it is something that I have not even eaten before. One of the things I’m enjoying so much about TWD is that it is broadening my culinary horizons. Thankfully, since I was somewhat short on time and rather tired, this recipe came together pretty easily, although I did manage to forget a step…
