I made this one today. Cut the recipe in half, only used one stick of butter and substituted dark syrup for molasses. I only needed to cook for 10 minutes. They came out great and look fancy too. Thanks for the pictures, they are so useful for the novice baker (me)!

Maybe they didn’t have the texture intended, but they look pretty enough Are you cookied out yet? :-p

Kellypea, yes interesting is the word!
Claire, yes onward and upward (hopefully).
Courtney, you go girl!
MyKitchenInHalfCups, I felt a little whimsical when I photographed these.
Sandy, yes, when Michael and I got married we both had fully stocked kitchens. Some duplicates were donated, but no way were we getting rid of any wooden spoons.

I made this one too today! Not my favorite, but good flavor. Yours look great! And wow do you have a lot of wooden spoons!

Well it was bound to happen! We made the same cookie on the same day. hahahaha. I love all the snaps around your spoon handles. I was so impatient with these I didn’t get that far & out went the first batch. As far as the shininess goes, I rolled them bumpy side out and that helped. I swear this recipe would make 100 of these, wouldn’t it? One of the most *interesting* recipes I’ve ever made. ARG.

I had planned to make this tonight. I will still do it even after reading both yours and Kellypeas! Funny how we all honed into this one.

Ah well – not every cookie can be the perfect cookie, I suppose. They are awfully pretty, though – I love the idea of rolling them around the dowels to get the tube shape. On to the next challenge!
