Not for the faint of heart......

For at least two weeks now, I have been trying to make (Flourless) Ooey Gooey Rocky Road Cookies.  For one reason or another I have not been able to make these.  The first time, I didn't have the sugar or marshmallows, the second time, I didn't have the marshmallows and thought I'd as my mom to send me some from the States as I couldn't find any here.  But today!  I thought I was going to successfully be able to finally make these yummy cookies. 

I pulled all of the dry ingredient's out and went to the fridge.  There I found NO EGGS!  URGH.

That's okay, I've also been saying that I've wanted to make shortbread cookies.  So today was the day.  As most things I enjoy baking these cookies have VERY few ingredients.

Shortbread Cookies With Strawberry Jam

2 cups flour
1 cup cold, unsalted butter cut into cubes
1/2 cup granulated sugar
jam
1/4 tsp salt optional: powdered sugar


Kneed the first three ingredients into your mixing bowl,
Roll out until the dough is about 1/8th inch thick.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Set your oven to 325 degrees. 

Cut your bottoms and tops of your cookies out using any coo
kie cutters you wish. Set them on a pan and refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
Take your cold dough cookies out, and bake for about 13-15 minutes until a firm.  Do not overcook as these cookies, like all cookies will continue to cook after you pull them from the oven. 
Cool.
Sprinkle tops with some powdered sugar.      Coat the bottom with a jam of your choice and sandwich them together.   

Seems easy enough right?  Don't be fooled.  First of all, 40 minutes is a VERY long time to cool.  So what can you do in the meantime?  I did laundry.....I'm sure you can find anything else that would be more entertaining.....

So not working.....

First Batch were burnt.

But don't worry!  I learned from my mistakes!

 

Needless to say; they sucked.  Horribly awfully bad.  Will need to try again.....someday.
