Jam, meet Shortbread.

Update #3 · May 11, 2011 · comment

Originally, this project was going to involve chocolate.  Brain-numbing amounts of chocolate.  And I am still developing chocolate bar recipes such as the Chocolate Smear that was made last week.  But non-chocolate recipes have done really well.  I was really surprised. 

Last night, I created the gigantic version of a jam thumbprint cookie.  This is no dainty nibbler.  As I promised, cookie-bars have more of the good stuff.  In this case, the good stuff is the jam-soaked shortbread in the center of a thumbprint cookie.  I've always wanted more of the center bit.  After last night, the Circle Bar brings the "wanting" into reality. 

Using a modified shortbread recipe and some homemade apricot jam, delicious disks of jam-soaked shortbread cookies came out of my oven.  The shortbread was light and crisp and delicately scented with vanilla.  The jam had caramelized around the edges and turned into a chewy, toothsome mouthful. 

If you close your eyes and inhale slowly, you can actually smell the fuzz on the apricots.
