This is what the dough looks like. Look at that. You're hungry aren't you?
And here's the actual finished cookies. They don't look like much, but oooooooooooooooooooooh man. I really don't know what else to say about them.
I would like to take this time to tell you about that thing the cookies were baked on, on the cookie sheet. It's called a silpat. I have had that thing since I was in culinary school, almost 3 years ago. For some reason, I had it in my brain that I would keep it to use when I learned how to work with sugar someday, and that was that. Then all of a sudden, as I was reading her recipe, and she said to use parchment paper or a silpat, I thought 'I have a silpat!' So I used it, and it worked great! I have been going through parchment paper like crazy lately, because I've been making cookies like crazy (for no reason really...), and the silpat is great because when you're done, you clean it off, roll it up, and use it again next time! Why this has been sitting in a drawer doing nothing for 3 years is beyond me. Go get one :)
