Today was a busy day in the kitchen. I planned to make these Linzer cookies, Peppermint Candy Cane Bark for a Christmas gift, and a new chicken recipe in my pressure cooker. When I stopped by Michaels yesterday to get the candy melts for the bark, they were all out. So, I bought Ghirardelli chips at the grocery store instead. That was a bad idea. $12 worth of chocolate went in the trash because it didn't set up right and wasn't hard enough. Lesson learned: don't procrastinate.
The chicken dish was completed without incident, but it wasn't very interesting. Thankfully, the Linzer cookies saved me from having a totally unsuccessful day. I used pomegranate jelly from Whole Foods (the only place I can find it)... it goes perfectly with the almond cookies. Now, these cookies are kind of a lot of work. I got the cookie cutters for cheap at Homegoods last year, so I wanted to try them out, but honestly...? If you don't want to do the work, make these instead.
Now, please excuse me while I go get some crumbs on the sofa and try to figure out where to buy peppermint candy cane bark.
