He Runs, I Cook

This week I attempted Anzac Biscuits from Some of My Best Friends Are Cookies… and well, I was disappointed by them. They were flat, and not great. I didn’t have enough coconut and I used dark brown sugar instead of just brown sugar, and I can honestly say they weren’t my best work. I mean, no one has actively complained about them (but no one really complains about free cookies) but deep down I know they’re not my best work. I do want to try again- maybe with Spiced Rum Anzac Biscuits or Whiskey Anzac Biscuits- but we’ll see. I’m a little bit wary of Anzac Biscuits now and thinking maybe I should stay in my lane and leave the Anzac Biscuits to actual Australians.

I also made these guys- Brown Butter Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookies and again, meh. They’re a cakier cookie than I normally go for. I should have been tipped off by the 3 eggs in the recipe. I know some people like cakey cookies, but I was underwhelmed. They’re not bad, but they could do with less egg and more bourbon flavour.

But hey, not every serve can be an ace. This week it feels like a double fault, but again, no one complains about free cookies! On a positive note, apparently last week’s gluten free cookies were amazing! I got great feedback on those so HIGHLY Recommend!
