Dinner with Jennie and David. Jason made bread, I brought the dream bars from yesterday and another recipe from Cookie Love for nut brickle rugelach. Jeez, what a production. The cream cheese dough needed to be made in advance and chilled, there were two sub-recipes (for the brickle and caramel sauce), the rolling out and shaping stage really could have used some pictures (I opted for Smitten Kitchen's simplified method intead), and the cookies leaked all their filling and flattened like crazy. And yet....they taste terrific and everyone loved them (although David and I, who share a lot of dessert preferences, liked the other cookies more). I might make these again, using a different dough recipe. And maybe even more chilling.
So I find Cookie Love exasperating but delicious.
