lblanchardThe current batch was flavored with 1 tsp of almond oil and the zest of one lemon. I think that may have been too much almond oil and next time I'll throttle it back a bit.
After mixing, the dough was left to rest at room temperature for about three hours. That let it cool and let the flour absorb some moisture. I used flour on the bottom of the cookies and powdered sugar on top. I dusted the dough-board by shaking a flour sifter over it. The technique seemed to work very well. Out of 48 cookies I only spoiled the molding of two.
The cookies were rolled/molded around 6:00 last night. They seem to be drying well, and I will probably bake them mid-afternoon.
In other news, the leaves of the 'papilio' pup burst free of the papery cover of the mother bulb and it turns out to be two pups. This is a happy-making thing.
