Coconut Butter Thins

This week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was selected by Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch. Unfortunately, I messed up the recipe a bit - decided to make some alterations where I really shouldn't have. I rolled the dough thinner than was recommended, and ended up burning all of my cookies. I saw the first half of the batch had burnt quite a bit, so I turned the temperature down and cooked for less time, but I still got more brown than I should have. However, now that I have all the ingredients for these cookies, I'll probably make another batch when I get an opening. If those turn out any better, I'll be updating this post with new commentary and better pictures.

Good news is that my oven's back up and running. The temperature setting is about 50ºF off what it should be, but I usually just go by my thermometer anyways, so that's not too much of a hassle. Here's looking forward to finally making some good food again!

don't think of them as burned. think of these as brown and crispy. these were really good. You must try them asap.
