Two perfectly good cookie recipes ruined by me
First up peanut butter & jam thumbprint cookies from the upcoming vegan cookie cookbook, the recipe can be found here. I ruined them by adding only half the amount of sugar they asked for by accident so they weren't sweet enough. It was a lot of fun to make them though.
After that I decided to give it another try with the remaining jam and make the chewy chocolate raspberry cookies from Veganomicon, the recipe can be found here. I made one tiny mistake. I didn't wash the sifter in between the two different batches of cookies, not realising that the first recipe called for baking powder and the second didn't and that baking powder has the potential to make something very bitter. It was such a pity because they were perfectly chewy and I could see the potential but they just had a horrible bitter taste.
Needless to say, Mr T and I ate all of them anyway, but we didn't love them the way we should have. Hopefully now that my baking disasters are over, I will be able to bake properly for the next vegan brunch potluck on sat.
I love jam thumbprint cookies, and I love peanut butter cookies, and I love peanut butter and jam sandwiches. But somehow, the thought of peanut butter jam thumbprint cookies has never, ever occurred to me. Those look amazing.
