Went looking for a mango cookie recipe and found this instead. Seriously, what's the deal with everyone wanting to sprinkle crumbled crap all over everything? I thought it looked way better without the topping and just a fan of mango slices.
Yeah, definitely would have tasted better without the stuff on top.
Sourced from something calling it Irish Oatmeal Bread though nothing in the recipe said anything remotely Irish. First successful bread. I guess the trick is rolling it and having two rises.
Sourced from Deb's Smitten Kitchen (contributor [as well as Elise] to Good Bite's launch). The recipe is almost identical to Elise's, but I opted for this one because it was written up as a half batch and had the interesting twist of refrigerating before baking.
I actually didn't refrigerate this initial pan, but I packed away a bit in the freezer on Deb's suggestion.
And it turns out they rose up just fine without the refrigeration though a bit light. I checked at 10 minutes but decided to leave them in for another 2. Crispy around the edges, chewy but oddly fluffy in the middle.
Addendum: I tried some of the ones I had frozen. They certainly rose more, but didn't spread out as much. If I wanted normal-sized cookies, I would have had to double the dough for each ball. I think the unrefrigerated ones were better actually.
Not as good as I remember.
Addendum, 1159.51009: No, it's not as good as I remember, but I like it all the same, maybe because I've got tongue for nut browns lately.
