Baking Until I Drop

The verdict is I need a scale.
And I need to remember to use it.
Remember how I kept having to add flour to the shortbread (although I still am not sure I had to…so a scale would have helped).

It’s a recipe from an English book I think (The Complete Biscuit and Cookie Book).
I don’t make refrigerator cookies alot. It’s the time involved…the delay you know?
But that day I started with them and made two logs and wrapped them up and stored them in the freezer because I didn’t know when I would actually bake them.

So last night, we took one out. I let it soften a bit and then cut it with my chef’s knife.
I put it on my silicon sheet on the tray.

And baked.

And it smelled nice. I didn’t check it until 8-10 minutes in.
It smelled like nice cheese pies.

It had all melted.
Melted.
And was bubbling.
And lacy.
And filled the entire tray.
Not cookies.

Not even really recoverable as crackers (maybe if I baked them longer to get hard).

*sigh*

I’m guessing not enough flour.
*sigh*
Baking is precise.
We have a scale. I just forgot to use it. (I mean, I used it to separate a cake mix into equal halves).

Argh.

And we still have one more log.

I think if we make a pastry we can put the slices in it and make nice cheese pies.

But.
I was looking forward to these “cheddar pennies”.
