My mother in law made a very thin cookie and sprinkled with powdered sugar when baked and it was called something like MILESHIE, IS ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH THIS COOKIE OR HAVE A RECIPE FOR IT? I’D LOVE TO HAVE IT.
THANKS MUCH

Katie, these sound SO delicious… and I can’t wait to try measuring out my ingredients with my kitchen scale, according to your suggestion! (Or should I say I can’t WEIGHT to try it? Sorry! ;) )

Krystina, it’s kind of vague sometimes, huh? I mix it in. Sometimes, I whip it a little then mix it in. Hope that helps!

Question. On the 2nd step, “Create a cavity in the center like a volcano and add egg yolk at room temperature. Let dough sit.” Do you mix in the egg yolk at all or just let it set in the little volcano part?

This reminds me so much of what I’ve had to do to learn my MIL’s peppermint meringues. My husband *loves* them and I really wanted to learn to make them for him. I still haven’t mastered it. It sure is fun trying though!

Also, I really want a food scale for this very reason. Baking is so much easier and more accurate when you use a scale.

Hi,

I am as Czech (Moravian) as it gets :o) I was born there and lived in Czech Republic for 21 years. I lived in London for couple of years and now I live in USA for almost 8 years. And I always get very homesick around Christmas. I have two little boys (3 years and 8 months) and this year, I am going to get over my homesickness and bake some awesome cookies for us. I don’t have problem getting the recipes from my mom, who is the best cook, baker ever (she usually makes at least 18 kinds of sweets for Xmas) but I hate trying to figure out the ratio – grs to cups….
Thanks for making my work little bit easier :o)

Vladka

Vesele Vanoce a Stastny novy rok!!!
