I wish I had taken a picture of the beautiful pink heart-shaped cookie, drizzled with white glaze and red glittery sprinkles. But I didn't. I ate it for breakfast. And it was the perfect combination of flakey melt-in-your-mouth texture, with sweetness and a little almond crunch. Good job, Paynie! You are an awesome Valentine, friend!
I tried to make some of my own for St. Paddy's Day but things went awry. First, after Michael went to all the trouble of going to the store to get me almond extract, I forgot to have him pick up the fricken fracken almonds. Bah. I baked the cookies anyway. They weren't almondy enough, but whatever. Then I tried to melt the white chocolate drizzle in the microwave, per the instructions, and it dried out and clumped. There would be no drizzling. What did I do wrong?
In the end I had a batch of plain, unadorned shortbread, and not the deliciousness that HP had produced. Oh well. I'll try again next holiday.
