[Experiments -1, 1, 2 to be recapped later]
Today i took a break off of muffins, and attempted a recipe for 'Milan' cookies that I yoinked from foodtv.com. Tack an 'O' on the end of that to get the nice Pepperidge Farm people mad at you. They turned out fabulous, if a bit lumpy and irregular, from the fact that i don't have a pastry bag, and so had to either use a ziploc bag or a squeezy bottle (I opted for the latter) and it's hard to get uniform cookies that way.
I ended up with little crispy wafery lemony-vanilla cookies, with a orange-chocolate ganache inside. mmm. i feel the diabetes coming on; too much sampling. Only real problem is getting the filling to set up properly in a kitchen that was over-heated by my oven. That and the fact that the stupid recipe didnt call for any salt. Seriously, WTF? It took a while to realize that that was what tasted so bland. Still, yummy cookies, that people other than me need to eat. ...NOW!

Update: upon field testing, it seems that they can get a little squishy after being tupperwared for an hour or three. well, the baking timing is tricky because a minute too much and they are too browned, and a minute too little and they aren't crispy enough. well, sitting all packaged up also leads to a little bit of chewy/squishy-ness. instead of yummy crispy-ness. probably just needs about a day of sitting out in the air to get stale. the chewy cookies are still fine, but just not as satisfying
