The Cookie Trials, part 4

[darkemeralds]

Ganache-filled shortbread pillows, Trial Number Three, was a tiny batch of eight cookies, which kind of fell apart before I could photograph them. (The crumbs were tasty, though).

Trial Number Four is approaching the goal. I used 1/16"guide strips to roll the dough, and 1/4" strips to roll the ganache (yes, I rolled it out and cut it--used cocoa powder to dust the rolling pin), and everything came out much nicer.




On the plus side: Crisp, golden, good ratio of chocolate to cookie, even size


On the improvement list: cookie part is a little TOO flaky. Extremely fragile while hot, and still fragile when cooled. Ganache is more bitter than I'd like--maybe use sugar instead of cocoa to roll it out?. Still some gaps in dough showing the filling. Possibly this isn't a bad thing.



I think I'm ready for human trials.

Continents make no difference anymore, until you actually want to relocate self or goods, damn it. When will Google be offering transmatter rays?
