It seems to take me most of Mondays to get my own post online and look at everyone else's. You do all of that and the midweek roundup as well! We do appreciate it. Looking forward to baking day tomorrow!

I tried to add the photos to this post, but it wasn't easy, so I posted it to my blog.

They do, but I mostly enjoy writing them (except for when the writing cuts into my bedtime). I try to write one every week, but may ask for volunteers to fill in when I'm gone for more than a week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187362927261194164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383201528982278067.post-76676474149415871942014-12-12T04:15:44.320-08:002014-12-12T04:15:44.320-08:00Your Midweek Roundups are really fun to read.

I was dismayed to find I had 1/4 or 1/16 but no 1/8th. So I used the 1/16 and tried to stop before the disk was touching the bench - with variable success. But the cookies were actually fine at 1/16 or just over. I have just given some to work colleagues for Christmas - and they asked for the recipe!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113118423277176336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383201528982278067.post-60348371859659707342014-12-11T18:40:28.196-08:002014-12-11T18:40:28.196-08:00I love love love the roundup!

Woody and I made the Ischlers last week for a demo and just want to mention one thing i've recently discovered: when i say to roll cookie dough or pie crust 1/8" thick i am actually rolling it between 1/16" and 1/8" thick because the rubber bands that i have which slip on either end of the rolling pin to determine the distance from the counter to the dough have to stretch in order to fit on my pin, making them thinner, and therefore making the distance between the pin and the dough less than 1/8". that said, it's fine to do 1/8" but i personally prefer a thinner cookie and pie crust! either way, it's a fabulous cookie--one of my top favs!Rose Levy Beranbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272822321509616109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383201528982278067.post-64283486203397127872014-12-11T18:29:03.928-08:002014-12-11T18:29:03.928-08:00Great write up.

I don't really think of apricot lekvar as a fruit per se, but the amount of dried apricots needed for the recipe was $12 so maybe in this case I will.
