After a wonderful vacation week where someone else cooked, I am back to cooking and baking! The Irish Soda Bread earlier this week was a huge hit, so much so that my hubbie requested it again! This time I made two loaves, one regular and one with an additional 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, oh my gosh, it is amazing!!! I have to post a picture!

| Yummy!!! |
I love cheese bread, so I am super excited to be able to make it!!
Anyway, back to the wonderful cookies we made this week. This is the first time I made sables or any kind of shortbread, it was surprisingly easy. The dough was really crumbly, but I was able to roll it nicely in the plastic wrap into logs.

| Chocolaty goodness! |
After putting them in the freezer for awhile, they were ready to cut! I did some pretty uneven rolling in sugar and started cutting. The only issue I had was that my knife kept catching on the big (didn't quite cut them small enough) pieces of chocolate and breaking the cookies!

End result, not the prettiest cookies I have made, but so yummy! Not too sweet, super chocolaty, perfect for a decadent snack!
I loved these too - perfect grownup cookie to enjoy with a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteNice job Erin! They look delicious. And, I never thought of adding cheese to Irish soda bread, but that's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI made the soda bread last night by request... this time I added half whole wheat flour and cut up prunes to go in it.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look good :-)
I'm going to have to give the soda bread another go I think. The cheese addition sounds great! The sables kind of snuck up on me. I didn't really like them that much at first but I ate two yesterday afternoon for a snack and was very pleased. Might be changing my mind...
ReplyDeleteI was actually going to make my forth loaf of soda bread today…I love having it for breakfast. Yours looks gorgeous…and love your cookies, they look delicious! I have been enjoying mine with my afternoon tea!
ReplyDeleteThe sablés look great and very delicious. Even though Tricia and I are no longer with
ReplyDeleteBaking on Tuesday's, I had made the Irish soda bread early on. I found it to be very
nice, loved the taste, but making it with the cheese scrumptious. I think I may
try that soon. Nice job on both of your recipes.
