I literally threw these together on Sunday afternoon. I was trying to watch the Pens, and trying to get these made at the same time. Sadly, I didnt do either task well. I missed a lot of the game, and the cookies looked.. well.. thrown together.
I only had pecans in the house, so that is what I used. I think had I used one of the nuts listed as options in the recipe, they would have come out better. Or maybe I should have changed out the filling. I dont know. The cookies and the raspberry jam did not go together. I loved the raspberry jam, I did not love the cookie. Again, this is my fault. I should have followed the recipe!
This is the plate of rejects. Poor fellas.
This weeks recipe is brought to us from Mike of Ugly Food Dude. Click over and give him some love. Mike is one of my favorite TWD peeps. Yeah, yeah, I said it. Its not like you dont have favorites too. 😛 Or check out the proper cookies here.
slush 
Well, they look tasty. I baked the cookies and LOVE them! Yum! I am going to fill and photo them in the morning. I made a half batch and might regret it now.
Im so glad you liked them! I always feel so guilty when I dont like whatever I bake. These may have been my least favorite from the book so far. How wacko of me.
Ok, so maybe they aren’t so pretty… I agree with you. I feel bad if I don’t like a recipe. Like the person who picked it is going to be insulted. Ah well. We did like these.
Too bad you didn’t like these! I wouldn’t worry too much about feeling guilty that you didn’t like it: that happens!! I’m sure whomever picked the recipe (Mike in this case) won’t take it personal 😉
Those rejects look mighty tasty – I know a lot of people at my work who would snap those up in a heartbeat! Glad you found the time in your busy schedule to make them though!
Well your cookies still look pretty darn tasty to me 🙂 Sorry these weren’t a hit for you. They are disappearing fast here!
I used Almond instead of hazelnut and LOVE the combo of almond+raspberry. Sounds like pecan wasn’t received very well as a substitute, eh? Honestly not sure I’ll even try the hazelnut b/c I liked the almond so much. Next time you got a Pens game and no hazelnuts, try almond. 🙂 PS- White Chocolate Brownies RULE!
PPS, Tarte Tatain.
Your rejects don’t look toooooooooo bad.
Did the Pens win?
I think it looks like a plate of flowers of some sort, either way, sorry you didn’t love them. I did. I love a shortbread, crumbly, but tender cookie like these. And having filled mine with Nutella, I thought they were/are de-lish! Again, just thanks for all your work for this group. I hope knowing so many of us love it at least make it worth it to you!
sorry yours didn’t turn out. I made mine with almonds and they were pretty tasty!
They look great..you can’t love everything, right!? I thought this recipe was the bomb!
Sorry to hear that you didn’t like these that much. I was thinking about using pecans, since I like them better than hazelnuts. But my hazelnut ones turned out really tasty. I also frequently fall victim to the doing too many things at once (and none of them well) problem…
Your cookies look good to me! Sorry you didn’t like them so much. I thought they were ok and I’d like try them again with something other than hazelnuts.
I’ll eat your cookie rejects! They look great to me…
They turned out great L!! I don’ care what a cookie looks like, if they taste great that’s all that matters 🙂
There are always bound to be a few rejects in a batch of cookies. 🙂 By the way, you’re one of my favorite Kreative Bloggers. Check it out: http://theeclecticconnoisseur.wordpress.com/2010/03/25/the-kreativ-blogger-award/
