If you've been paying attention to this blog in the last, oh, 27 days, you may have noticed a trend--we're rather pro-Halloween around here. Bone cookies were the absolute best option for the week before Halloween! A little spooky, a little bit shaped like wonky chromosomes, and perfect for a Halloween carnival this weekend.
I have to admit, that while I've grown more fond of malt as a result of these Baked experiments, I didn't fill these Devil Dogs with their intended Malted Buttercream. Before you start throwing the tomatoes, let me explain! Instead of filling these cookies with buttercream (which required chilling before service), I filled them with the Baked Vanilla Filling (found here in Salt & Pepper Cookies) because it would be more stable sitting on a bake sale table for four hours. Four hours in Texas is a really long time for buttercream.
And they were still delicious (and possibly even more kid-friendly) without the malted buttercream.
Looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
