I made Orange-Dulce de Leche cookies for my very first baking competition and tied for first place.  I am so stupidly happy :)

OMG, I tied for first place! Shocked and delighted :)

Tents fingers together *muwhahaha*

Oyster-Artichoke Soup

The thing I need to remember is to pipe a tray, wait 15 minutes, then pipe the next, ad infinitum, so that when I bake them one tray at a time my last tray doesn’t dry out too badly.  My middle tray over dried a bit and thus had my most hated enemy - the air bubble.  However, I’m pretty sure the people eating them won’t mind :)

The recipe doesn’t call for oil or anything to coat the dough, so they end up a little pale. I think a spritz with oil and maybe cranking up the heat for the last few minutes might help these color a little better.
