I made the brown butter chocolate chip cookies from the book Obsessed with the best - these were fantastic! Baked for a total of 11 minutes

My E loan got returned. What’s different about this recipe?
I’m really looking forward to when this book can be COTM.
(I made the hella complicated fresh pasta recipe … not worth the trouble. It did not taste better than Marcella Hazan’s and was so much harder to knead, being all
00 Flour.)

Aargh. I missed out on this one when it was a kindle deal. Those cookies (and your report) look fabulous!

Bundt microwave mug cakes, using recipe posted by @Lectroid a year ago. I didn’t print a fresh copy of the recipe, so missed seeing my own note from last year that the recipe makes batter for 3 (not 2) of the mini Bundts. Mine overflowed, again, and were still tasty. A quarter of my cake got shared with my husband, who later sampled his way, a forkful at a time, thru half of the second small cake. I use DeRuijter dark chocolate sprinkles in place of mini-chocolate chips.

@Aubergine - buckwheat flour - otherwise it’s kind of a mash up of other recipes - brown butter, resting and freezing dough, pan banging, scooting - I loved them!

For the last day of class, I also made these brown butter brown sugar shortbread cookies from SK - they were excellent and best on day 2-3. I made the glaze with milk, not lemon, and preferred them with glaze.

What’s it like reading a cookbook on a Kindle? I’ve never considered trying this before. Is there enough text to keep it interesting? And do you miss the photos?
I’m sure there must be easier ways to use the kindle then the way I do. When I buy a cookbook I usually read thru it then if I want to make a recipe I sort of go from page to page till I find it. Sometimes the recipe is online or available on the internet. You can’t print from a kindle. I don’t use the ebooks I buy often.
In this particular book she is very thorough about her research and gives the best recipe at the end.

I buy a lot of discounted kindle cookbooks and also borrow cookbooks from the local libraries in ebook form, but I don’t use an actual kindle e-reader, I use an ebook app on phone, tablet, or laptop. Everything in the book is there, including the photos in full color. When I want to make a recipe from one, I use my phone on the kitchen, which I don’t find difficult.

You just can’t make a copy from an ebook, right?
I’m a fast typist so if I really want a recipe from one I type it out.
My HP Laser printer conked out and I have to wait until I can afford a new one. So, I’ve been propping up my I Pad to read/make recipes. I prefer paper copies in a plastic sleeve.

Good idea. I will do that
Do you have to buy these apps
I keep forgetting about that. I remember to do it now when Noah’s sends me a special offer, easy to find in my photos.
No, on a laptop you’re reading in a browser and on other devices the kindle app (and similar) is free.
