Pillow Cookies Week 6 for 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies
Pillow Cookies Week 6 for 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies
I like to ?make cookies. I like to make cookies that I have never made before. Most of all I like to make cookies that taste and look good.
In my search for cookie recipes to make for the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies....
....I found this fabulous recipe from the Clumbsy Cookie blog called Chocolate Chip Cookie Ravioli. Just from the title its self of this cookie I was intrigued! What in the world is a cookie that is a "ravioli"? Was it made with pasta? NO it is a cookie made with a simple sugar cookie dough and topped with "chocolate chip cookie dough" (or jam - like I used) and then sandwiched with another layer of sugar cookie dough thus giving the effect of a "ravioli". Brilliant!
In an effort to create my own kind of cookie from this recipe I renamed the
recipe to Pillow Cookies - these cookies seem more like a fluffy soft "pillow" rather than a "pasta" kind of cookie. Of course you may think differently...which is fine! Name this cookie recipe whatever you wish.I chose to go the easy peasy way and use cookie mixes rather than making the cookie dough from scratch. I know, for many of you this is a "sin" but for me these days (I have just entered my 30th week of pregnancy) I need to find anything possible that gives me the quickest way to the end result. Made from scratch or from the help of the lovely Betty Crocker its your choice for these cookies.
