After a long hiatus during the gray days of January (actually, here in SoCal January was pretty fabulous, warm, blue skies, etc.), we resume the normal schedule and that means talks, tea and cookies!
Here is this week's lineup, selected specially for Gemmon and Betsy:
Traditional Madeleines
Dorie Greenspan's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Both from Dorie Greenspan, Baking: From My Home to Yours
OK, so this madeleine recipe is the first recipe of Dorie's that I don't adore. But that is because I think I messed it up. These are not pretty madeleines, folks. For the first batch, I overfilled the molds, so they are ugly. In the second batch, the butter in the recipe had dropped to the bottom of the bowl and not fully incorporated into the dough, so these had too much butter and ended up looking funny, with pockets of butter amid the batter. I think I am going to have to do madeleines again next week just to do a better job. They don't taste too bad, but they aren't going to win any beauty contests!
But the chocolate chip cookies are awesome!
