Lime and Coconut Sugar Cookies
Lime and Coconut Sugar Cookies
Recipe by America’s Test Kitchen- The perfect cookie cookbook
Bonjour Bitches,
I'm going to address all of you in a different language until I run out of greetings.
Process-
Making sugar cookies isn't easy. It took longer than I thought, surprise surprise. The smell was terrific though. When mixing the liquid ingredients, you smell vanilla, sugar, and then when you add the lime zest, it takes it to a new level.
I think lime zest is underrated. It's a sweet-smelling, soft, but still very zingy- you're welcome, Sarah & Casey. I also think I baked them a little too long again. I am still trying to figure out my damn oven.
Taste-
As for the taste, I needed to use more lime zest. I couldn't taste the lime at all. It was disappointing. I could sort of taste the coconut, but I think it's used more for texture in the cookies? As I said above, I overcooked the cookies. They were more crisp than chewy and soft. I'm assuming the outside is crispy, the "outer core"- geology reference- is chewy and the core is soft. Mine were crispy until you hit the core. I'm not sure I'll make these again unless someone requests them or around the holidays.
Random thoughts-
If you've read my past blog posts, you know I'm still trying to figure out a SOP (standard operating procedure) for my blog. If things look different every post you know why. I may cut back to only two recipes a week. One sweet and one savory. I don't want to burn myself out.
The next couple of posts won't be brown either. I was looking at my feed today, and it looks like a wheat field. It's time to switch it up.
Have you seen the meme of a dog with a tie on working on a computer? There is a house on fire with random things flying through the air? It says something like "looking for a job in the middle of pandemic" Here is it:
Credit unknown?
It’s exactly how I feel right now. I’ve applied for at least 15 jobs in the past month, jobs I’m qualified for, and not a single company has called me back. It’s infuriating and depressing. I know something will come my way at some point, but fuck dude. This shit is getting old.
Oh! The next bake is chewy chocolate cookies and a pizza!
