cookie stardust

Thursday  March 25, 2010

our second radically themed cookie night was centered around a guy named ziggy, and some martian arachnids. hey, the cookies were star-shaped! (official name: Cinnamon Stars) 
what other choice could we possibly have?
basically it was an excuse to get all snazzy. and paint blue stars and lightning bolts and stuff on our faces.
 

cassandra, as always, went for awesome and wore some psychedelic false lashes...

cookie dough hands. scary.
 

les dragées!!

little silver candies...or triple tongue piercings?
  

so, uh, the cookies didn't really turn out how we thought...
observe:
  
IN SHORT:
the creator of the cookbook placed a picture of a sugar cookie next to a recipe that called for no flour, but rather ground almonds. and, you know, our tempermental oven didn't help either. 

meghan can't contain her amusement at out baking misfortune.
  


in spite of their unattractive appearance...they were actually not that bad!
 
  
 meghan referred to then as "apple cinnamon cookies"
shelvy wrote in the book: "David Bowie save us!! There's no flour, nothing to make them rise, no cookie in these cookies!"
we agreed they'd probably make a good apple pie crust.

pip, have a cookie, and meet shannon!
  

the evening ended the only way it could...with a viewing of Labyrinth, naturally!

the early years, pt 1

one of the very first cookie nights ever!
laura and i are READY TO GO! american gothic style
ahh, the innocent days, when we were ambitious enough to attempt not one, but two brand-new recipes in one night!

almond biscotti loaves fresh from the oven...
 

"bro 'n' amy" (laura's brother and his wife) stop by to say hi
(how sweet of them)
and pip and andrew amuse themselves with youtube videos.
   
we considered it a success.
the biscotti turned out much better than the chocolate spice cookies if i remember. i recommend the recipe.
