Dinner with Jennie and David. Jason made bread, and I made two kinds of cookies: a no-bake chocolate w/ caramel and rice krispies (called star crunch; apparently a replica of a Little Debbie cookie), plus some lemon sugar cookies from Dorie's cookie book. The star crunch gave me trouble; the first time I undercooked the caramel so they wouldn't firm up. The result was tasty, but also a little too sweet. So I tried again, adding more rice krispies and subbing in a little dark chocolate for milk, and found them not quite pliable enough. All in all I don't think these are worth bothering with again. The "no-bake" aspect isn't much of a draw when the caramel temps are so fussy.
The lemon cookies, on the other hand, are nearly perfect. The are crisp on the edges and soft within, as promised. Personally I would add a little more lemon zest, and I somehow forgot the salt, but I will definitely make these again: easy and delicious.
