I very nearly had to skip this week's Tuesdays with Dorie goodie because I have been wrestling with bronchitis for the past week. Who would want to eat anything made by somebody who is coughing and hacking? Just to be ready, though, I made the dulce de leche by the super easy method recommended by Laurie: I put two unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk in a crockpot, covered then with water and cooked on low overnight. What a terrific result!
So back to the Dulce de Leche Duos. They are in the oven now and are coming out pretty well. I did make an error in following the recipe which I didn't catch until I was rereading it to make sure I didn't leave anything out. Somehow I misread the amount of sugar and put in 3/4 cup of white sugar instead of 1/2 cup. I tried pulling some of it out, but had already dumped the dulce de leche into the bowl so extracting the extra sugar was pretty much a lost cause. Maybe the bronchitis fog is thicker in my brain than I think.
Later: The cookies are tasty but rather sweet. (Could it possibly be the extra quarter cup of sugar?!!) Dorie says you'll end up with 30 sandwiches--I have half again that many so either I made them too small or that extra sugar greatly expanded the batter!
Beautiful cookies, and the picture of yourself in your header...just way to adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou are a cutie.
They look good! I didn't put the white sugar in and mine were still plenty sweet. They didn't spread at all, though, so looked like rocks!
ReplyDeleteI almost did the same thing! Thankfully I happen to reread the recipe before I threw the white sugar in. Whew! Glad you didn't skip this week and enjoyed the cookies. Get well soon!

I hope you are feeling better!! Your cookies look great!
ReplyDeleteThese were fairly sweet, so I can see where extra sugar might be noticed. They do look delish!
ReplyDeleteBronchitis is a bear! I used to get it every year when I still smoked. (Been smoke-free for over 10 years now).
ReplyDeleteGreat looking cookies. I am going to try and work this recipe in tomorrow.
they were a hit with us too!!! nice job :) i didn't find them too sweet but i have a crazy sweet tooth lol
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tanya, I love your header! Your cookies look perfect! A lot of us found them to be sweet so your extra 1/4 cup of sugar may not have mattered.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies were really sweet, so I actually prefered them without filling!
ReplyDeleteThey WERE pretty sweet. They were nice and chewy without the filling and tasty with it.
ReplyDeleteCookies look just right.
These were pretty sweet even without extra sugar! It looks like your cookies turned out great though. The photo of you with your mixer is great!
