Thanks so much!<BR/><BR/>Hi Pinknest! Well, I don't have much experience there, but you might be right. It'd definitely lend itself to nibbling.<BR/><BR/>Hi Gourmand! Doing what I did with a little circle of pastry rather than the cookie would be wonderful. The pastry would be light and crispy. Dusting the whole thing with some powdered sugar is a great idea and adding a little garnish on top would make it very festive I think!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1166218561823830042006-12-15T16:36:00.000-05:002006-12-15T16:36:00.000-05:00This sounds wonderful & I'll be making it, probabl...This sounds wonderful & I'll be making it, probably using fresh summer berries & rolling the pastry to a very thin wafer & dusted with some icing sugar. <BR/>It sounds like I might have found my Christmas Day dessert, perfect for Christmas in Australia.

This first part of that chapter has the more basic cookies, but pretty soon I'll be hitting the filled cookies - yay! Those should be much more interesting.<BR/><BR/>Hi Rowena! You know, the name kind of scared me - don't know why, but it didn't sound particularly appealing. The name is due (I believe) to the fact the butter is melted and then mixed (while still hot) with the flour. I'm guessing this is responsible for their texture - firm and crisp.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mari - this cookie is definitely sturdy, but I'm not sure it would soften much if any from the ice cream. I had it sitting on that warm cherry mixture for several minutes and it was still difficult to break with a spoon. The texture is fine for eating, just not suitable for managing with a fork or spoon.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1165419562737548552006-12-06T10:39:00.000-05:002006-12-06T10:39:00.000-05:00These cookies sound like they'd go well with a sco...These cookies sound like they'd go well with a scoop or two of ice cream. I've sometimes gotten a wafer-like cookie with ice cream and it always breaks, which frustrates me. Maybe this cookie, because it's so sturdy, would soften a bit after coming in contact with ice cream...? I don't know. And yes, that cherry sauce looks pretty yummy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1165312527222032812006-12-05T04:55:00.000-05:002006-12-05T04:55:00.000-05:00Interesting to note the plain-ness of this cookie,...Interesting to note the plain-ness of this cookie, given the fact that the name sounds pretty interesting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1165249190665068242006-12-04T11:19:00.000-05:002006-12-04T11:19:00.000-05:00Hi - I've been following your progress each week, ...Hi - I've been following your progress each week, and wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying your blog. I can't wait until you finish the icebox cookie section and move on, though. I just don't find these cookies as interesting as other types.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
