Post #183: TWD Thumbprints for Us Big Guys

I have no steam in my engine. No gas in my tank. I tried to bake these cookies with as much energy as I could muster. They never took off. The shortbread texture is really good. Mine came out a little browner than desired. I baked for 8-10 minutes, rotating the baking pans halfway. Nothing worked. Still, they are easy to make. I just could not get mine to look like the book, though. Oh, well. Maybe, next time!  I opted for chocolate topping instead of jam. Just needed my chocolate fix.  The shortbread taste coupled with chocolate was really good!

Thanks to Mike of Ugly Food for an Ugly Dude for hosting this week's TWD. I am sure to follow him from now on! His site is great! Very real and down to earth. My kind of blog. Visit him and give him a shout out on his cookies. This is really a great Dorie recipe. It is so easy, good, and simple, even if you do have to splurge on the hazelnuts ($5 per 8 oz.)!

Here are my measly little cookies. I still have some dough left, so I am gonna wait until I am more refreshed to try them out again. I took these photos with my iPhone.  Too tired to trek up the stairs to get my camera.  As I always tell my hubby, those stairs will be the death of me.



Stay tuned..Will be back with a more energized post. Just wanted to go on record for TWD!
