Glazed Lemon Cookies

Week 33

This week's host was Michelle she choose Glazed Lemon Cookies. Recipe on page 167 of our book.

I was really looking forward to making these cookies because my neighbor Jen said they were very good. Also, a Lemon cookie is very different from what I bake.

Everyone bombs at least one, RIGHT! Well, I would say it's been a pretty good baking year so far. I have baked 33 weeks now and this is my first bombed recipe.

I think it started before the baking began. The recipe indicated that a food processor was a must have for this recipe. I brushed that note a side because in past recipes I have substituted a food processor with my blender. It has never been a problem, so why would it be this time?

Trying to get the cookie dough out of the blender was a mess. As you can see it was very sticky and the next step was to roll the dough into a log. Rolling STICKY dough=???

No log rolling for this dough. The recipe didn't say to add flour if dough is to sticky so I didn't do that but, now, wish I had.

The recipe did say that if the dough was to sticky put in the fridge to cool for a couple minutes. Then roll your log. The only problem was my dough never got hard enough to roll. It continued to be to sticky for rolling into a log. I ended up trying to put the dough in the freezer for  a couple of minutes but that only harden the outside of the dough which didn't help my log rolling.

This is the best I could do. . .

After the dough was in plastic wrap I was able roll it a bit better. At least it looked smooth. Into the fridge it went to chill for two hours. I was hoping that after the chilling step my problem would disappear.

As you can see the cut cookie dough doesn't look that great. My hopes weren't very high and I am glad they weren't because they didn't turn out right.

The cookies had a great flavor and taste. In fact, they actually tasted pretty good to my surprise.

To bad they broke when I tried to remove them from the pan. I knew for a fact that there was no getting any icing on these cookies. I snacked on them anyway. I want to try and make them again. The only problem is I am not sure how to fix my mistakes.

A Tip & A Question:

1. If something isn't right in your baking try to fix it. Don't assume it will turn out anyway.
2. What is the difference between a food processor and a blender? (I hope that doesn't sound like a dumb question.)
