As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I think most people have a pretty good opinion of the Swiss. They used to be cut throat bankers. They used to be neutral. They.......there is not allot about the Swiss, so you just kind of hate them for the Sound of Music and other tortures which they brought to the world.
I was reading a farm paper and my eyes are not the best now, but I could see this old gal, standing very proud, presenting these burnt cookies. It wsa like, "What is this shit?" as I know cast iron cooking when I see it, and this was burned cookies on cast iron.
They are some Bratseil cookie. Sounds Italian to me, and everyone hates Italians because who can admire a people who eat spaghetti all the time. I mean once a month is fine, but 30 days and 3 times a day is too much even if they have these cookies and other ball like things with foreign names.
So I looked up this recipe and I did not read it, but figure it is kind of a krumkae Norwegian crossed with a German sugar cookie. Nothing great, even if you paste a burning imprint on them.
I just pity the kids who grew up with that crap as they think all cookies are burned. Like burned onions and other caramelized things are said to be the way they should be cooked, when in fact you got too hot of fire and were off doing something else instead of cooking.
I just had to say something about this, as I have ween seeing that old woman in my cellar as I burn wood for too man days and she was annoying me. Like that architecture house I could not see, but that annoys me too. You get annoyed allot in a cellar in the cold and figuring out how to make wood burn when it either is an inferno trying to make a cookie out of you or is smoking you like a German pudding.
Yes pudding in Germany is sausages and in England it i that bread. I have no idea why people can not make pudding but that is another mystery like burning cookies so kids will not eat them and catch worms. Another old wives tale.
So enjoy if you care to, as I am still wanting to make Stephanie donuts but all these trials I have been through I dont' want to do a blessed thing this year Just sit in the warm sun and do nothing in warm sun things, but that won't go like jack or shit, but I sure would appreciate being like rich people in turning on the electric heat, just sitting there worrying about bullshit and doing that every day in not being able to sleep, because they sleep too much, instead of the burned cookie world I exist in.
Oh by the way, do not read these Goddamn farm sheets. They are all fricking Mockingbird shit in climate change and other bullshit, like burning cookies.
Steps:
- Whisk together 3 cups flour, the cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add extracts, and zest if using; mix until combined. Add eggs; mix until combined.
- Whisk cream in a medium bowl until just slightly thickened. Fold into butter mixture.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until incorporated after each addition, until dough is just soft enough to handle but still slightly sticky. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls.
- Coat a bratseli or pizzelle iron with cooking spray, and heat. Place 1 ball of dough in each grid, and press handle down tightly. Cook bratseli until golden (some machines have a green light that will illuminate when done), 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Trim edges, if needed. Let cool completely on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
