Petit Fours
« on: May 31, 2011, 06:31:13 am »
Have just been reading the blog on chocolate chip cookies, they look good.
We always have a supply of Luigi's cookies.They are consistantly good and super popular with kids and grandkids, especially if I make them into monte carlos with hazelnut/chocolate spread in centre.
 Had a dinner party last week and my wife Leigh hit on the idea to make mini luigi's which I did and she topped each with the hazelnut and chocolate spread with chopped almonds sprinkled on top and there we had a plate of Petit fours to serve with the coffee. They were so popular, so easy and quick to make and they looked good.
When I make these cookies I mix for double the time stated in the recipe, the mixture is usually still not thoroughly mixed, I then put the lot in a round bottom plastic bowl and mix gently by hand..I do this with the shortbread recipe also, it is no effort.
Can't wait to try the chocolate chip cooky recipe. Just an old sweet tooth.

Thanks for the great ideas dd! Petit Fours with hazelnut choc topping sounds delish!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.
