eclectic Jessie:
In a nicely lined box.. on their way to a friend in Boston.
eclectic Jessie:
All done!
eclectic Jessie:
First round, draining.
eclectic Jessie:
Frying up!
eclectic Jessie:
Pre-flip.
eclectic Jessie:
See? Little scrap bubbling and browning in the fat.
eclectic Jessie:
But don't eat them all! I use a small scrap to make sure the fat is hot enough.
eclectic Jessie:
The scraps make tasty snacks, with a little bit of extra filling on top...
eclectic Jessie:
And it melts some more.
eclectic Jessie:
Shortening melts..
eclectic Jessie:
All cookies have been filled.
eclectic Jessie:
More have joined the first...
eclectic Jessie:
One down!
eclectic Jessie:
A little too much filling!
eclectic Jessie:
First round, prepped to be filled.
eclectic Jessie:
mmm scraps.
eclectic Jessie:
I always cut these too thick.
eclectic Jessie:
I rolled out the extra dough and cut more.
eclectic Jessie:
Ikea wine glasses are the perfect diameter.
eclectic Jessie:
Impromptu rolling pin.
eclectic Jessie:
Rice Wine Vinegar.. or rolling pin?
eclectic Jessie:
Ready to be rolled out!
eclectic Jessie:
Dough is quite crumbly.
eclectic Jessie:
Take the rings off! Get your hands in that dough!
eclectic Jessie:
Time to abbandon the whisk (after adding the melted shortening, flour, sugar, and salt)
eclectic Jessie:
Shortening kind of creeps me out.
eclectic Jessie:
Beat until frothy!
eclectic Jessie:
Three eggs in a new bowl..
eclectic Jessie:
Cover and chill (yes, I washed the spoon before I stuck it back in)
eclectic Jessie:
Licking the back of the spoon when you're done mixing? Required.
