For this week's challenge I baked from Murdoch Book's "Bake It".
This one was a gift from my boyfriend's brother and sister in law a while ago. It's your typical baking book with a difference: most of the recipes have some sort of twist from the old classics. This usually involves use of spices or various substitutes for flour, like polenta or semolina. They're definitely not your typical ingredients-you'll-find-in-your-cupboard type recipes, but they are nice to try something new! There are some ginger cupcakes I've been wanting to do for ages, which I was planning to do this week. But I haven't found time to grocery shop, so had no cream. So I've gone for the choc fudge cookie sandwiches instead.
No one can say no to chocolate, right?
I made one change, however. If they're going to be cookie sandwiches, they'd better look like sandwiches! So I shaped the dough into a loaf or bread-ish shape before slicing the log.
So lets just pretend they actually look like sandwiches.
Om nom nom.
