October 4th: miso chicken soup and sugar cookies

Verdict:
Keeper: sugar cookies
Toss: soup



From October 2010's Chatelaine: Chicken miso noodle soup. I can't give a real review of this recipe, as I replaced the chicken with beef and the udon noodles with spaghetti. All I know is I used 1 1/2 times the amount of water called for and it was still like eating spaghetti and meatballs rather than a soup. Seeing as I don't like pasta or ground beef overly, it is no surprise I'm opting to toss it. O&G liked it; again, no surprise there!


Last night after O went to bed, I whipped up some sugar cookie dough and popped it into the fridge. Tonight after bedtime I pulled it out and whipped up cookies with one half of the dough and threw the other half into the freezer for another time. Half the baked cookies went into the freezer too, but who am I kidding, those won't stay in there for long! These sugar cookies are simple to make and if I kept a better eye on them in the oven and got them off the hot pan immediately, I probably wouldn't have as many burnt cookies. Even the burnt ones are good though. As per usual, I forgot to read my comments I jotted on the recipe the last time I made them, to try the spiced alternative they list at the end. I'll just have to make them again some time! From November 2005's Chatelaine: Christmas sugar cookie cut-outs.

  1. I'm happy to report, five months later, the cookie dough pulled from the freezer turned into awesome cookies. I had to massage the cracks out of the dough, but once it was workable it was as good as fresh!
