Wowzers. Two food blog entries in a week. Now that’s cray cray.
Well, I baked pillow cookies this past Wednesday and it was pretty crazy. While the whole experience is fresh, I thought I’d post. In case you kids don’t know what a pillow cookie is… a pillow cookie is a chocolate chip cookie with a stuffed brownie inside. It’s a pretty epic. Now the thing is because you need to bake brownies and cookies, you need a good amount of time. I was foolish and thought I could bake them within three hours. Now, three hours is a lot of time, but I was trying to bake for my entire fellowship (and that’s a lot of people) and you need to let the cookie dough sit in the fridge for an hour. Oh, and on top of that… I don’t have many baking tools at my disposal (a mixer would be nice for Christmas...). So everything was hand whipped and stirred. It was my work out for the week. I ended up buying brownie mix for the center (which kind of kills me because I prefer to make everything from scratch), but the cookie dough was all scratch. I didn’t end up being able to finish baking all my cookies before my big fellowship meeting, but still was able to bring more than a dozen. I had a couple dozen waiting for me back home though. As a result… I delivered the next day. As soon as my design class was over, I ran across campus hand delivering cookies. Despite the craziness, it was quite fun and I got to catch up with a lot of people. I’ve gotten really great compliments on the pillow cookies so I totally recommend anyone to make ‘em. I mean c’mon… a brownie in a cookie. That’s hardcore.
