Tasty nonetheless. Other recipes I have for cookies call for melted, cooled butter. I think if the butter had been cool maybe it would have worked better.

I can't bear it! Looks like a beautiful place, your cookie experience reminds me of the one and only time I tried to make brandy snaps, butter leaking everywhere, now lost in the mists of time. I have a packet of those choc nibs from the wholefood shop, and I don't know quite what to do with them and a piece of raw chocolate and some cocoa butter, all sitting there, waiting for Chocot!Joannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-18119279487522803652010-05-17T20:29:02.236+01:002010-05-17T20:29:02.236+01:00Celia - aghh, you might have cracked it there.

Brownie and cake, yes, but not a cookie, which basically has to keep its shape - in most cases, cookie recipes call for not overbeating the butter so as to <i>avoid</i> melting it!Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordialhttp://www.figjamandlimecordial.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-73664228733413735462010-05-17T20:10:14.465+01:002010-05-17T20:10:14.465+01:00Kath - yes it is a wonderful place - my photograph...Kath - yes it is a wonderful place - my photographs don't do it justice of course. I always get wrapped up in the walk and looking at things and forget to take photographs.<br /><br />Caked Crusader - I got them from a health food shop. they tend to be cheaper brought that way. You can by them through places like Hotel Chocolat, but they are a lot more expensive.<br /><br />Thank you Priya & Sushma<br /><br />Bridgett - thank you. I think I need your eye for photography to actually show off the area properly.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897540628930976052.post-31461643283464774782010-05-17T16:39:34.111+01:002010-05-17T16:39:34.111+01:00Looks like a beautiful place to go walking.
