This past weekend I made cranberry oat biscuits. They were supposed to have a white chocolate top, but I could not find white chocolate chips so I used funfetti vanilla cake chips instead. Ultimately, they were not an apples to apples alternative, but I am glad I at least had some sort of topping. Even though these were not a homerun, I am glad I tried out a few new techniques. I hadn't tempered chocolate and coated biscuits with them before. It was harder than it looks. I had to spoon the melted chocolate on top of the biscuits and spread them out evenly. I just saw a video with Martha Stewart holding the cookie and dipping it into the frosting to get an even coating. I am not sure if that would have worked with the consistency of the funfetti chocolate, but I'd try it out next time. I should also highlight that these were not traditional cookies, they were biscuits. Which essentially means drier cookies... but that is okay, I think everyone needs a break from a sickeningly sweet treat every once and awhile. I do actually think the biscuits might have been better without the chocolate, but I wanted to follow the recipe. I think these would pair perfectly with a cup of tea on a snowy Sunday afternoon. Check out vlog #11 for how to make them!
